LANGLOTZ PATENT & TRADEMARK WORKS, LLC operates in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area, having managed 1032 career applications. The firm has established a resolved allowance rate of 79.67 percent, which reflects the proportion of its applications that reach a grant. This record of 1032 career applications serves as the basis for the firm's experience in the mechanical and commercial sectors.
The firm's prosecution process involves an average of 3.08 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 13 pending office actions, which represent its active workload in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. These 13 pending office actions are fewer than the 1032 career applications on record.
With 1032 career applications and a 79.67 percent allowance rate, the firm has a historical record of performance. The 3.08 office actions per allowance provide a benchmark for the expected duration of the prosecution cycle. The 13 pending office actions show the firm's ongoing commitment to its clients' intellectual property goals.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 10 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. 10 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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (6%) |
| §102 only | 4 (25%) |
| §112 only | 3 (19%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (19%) |
