PERILLA KNOX & HILDEBRANDT LLP handles 1783 career applications in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The firm maintains a very high resolved allowance rate of 99.13 percent. There are 69 pending office actions currently requiring attention. The firm averages 3.33 office actions per allowance.
This combination of a 99.13 percent allowance rate and a moderate office action average suggests an exceptionally effective prosecution strategy for mechanical and e-commerce patents. The firm manages its 1783 career applications with a focus on nearly universal success at the patent office.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 19 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. 19 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 | 2 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 11 (9%) |
| §103 only | 29 (24%) |
| §102 only | 13 (11%) |
| §112 only | 4 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 58 (49%) |
