KOLISCH HARTWELL, P.C. manages a portfolio within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area, supported by 4377 career applications. The firm has a resolved allowance rate of 75.58 percent, reflecting the proportion of its applications that reach a grant. This volume of 4377 career applications provides a historical basis for the firm's work in mechanical and commercial systems.
The firm's prosecution process is marked by an average of 2.91 office actions per allowance. This metric indicates the typical number of interactions between the firm and patent examiners before an application reaches an allowance. Currently, the firm is handling 25 pending office actions, which represent the active phase of its prosecution work in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. These 25 pending office actions are fewer than the 4377 career applications on record.
With 4377 career applications and a 75.58 percent allowance rate, the firm has an established record of performance. The 2.91 office actions per allowance provide a benchmark for the expected duration of the prosecution cycle. The 25 pending office actions highlight the firm's ongoing engagement with the patent office on behalf of its clients.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 18 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
