KRIEGSMAN & KRIEGSMAN specializes in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area, with a history of 1327 career applications. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate pct of 77.89 across these filings. This rate serves as a performance indicator for the firm's ability to secure patent rights in these engineering fields.
The firm averages 3.8 office actions per allowance, which outlines the typical level of iteration required to reach a grant. Currently, the firm is managing 15 pending office actions. These 15 pending office actions, when viewed alongside the 1327 career applications, show the firm's ongoing commitment to its established practice areas.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (6%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (17%) |
| §103 only | 3 (17%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (56%) |
