Perman & Green, LLP operates in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and has 52 pending office actions. Its career application record includes 3244 applications, placing the active docket within a broad historical prosecution record.
The resolved allowance rate is 77.6%, and the average office actions per allowance is 3.49. These figures separate the outcome of resolved applications from the examination activity associated with allowed matters. Practitioners can use the profile to assess current response volume and to understand the firm’s recorded prosecution pattern in transportation, e-commerce, and mechanical systems.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 13 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. 13 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 + other | 3 (6%) |
| §103 only | 16 (33%) |
| §102 only | 3 (6%) |

| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
