Pierson Ferdinand, LLP has handled 545 career applications within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The firm achieves a resolved allowance rate pct of 88.67, reflecting its outcomes in navigating the patent office requirements. This rate of success across 545 career applications provides a benchmark for prospective clients seeking protection for mechanical and e-commerce innovations. The 88.67 resolved allowance rate pct is a metric for evaluating the firm's prosecution history.
On average, the firm receives 2.89 avg office actions per allowance. This figure suggests a path from filing to grant that involves specific levels of examiner negotiation. There are currently 22 pending office actions across the firm's active matters. The combination of 22 pending office actions and a 2.89 avg office actions per allowance indicates that the firm maintains active engagement with examiners to move cases toward resolution. These 22 pending office actions represent the current workload within the firm's broader portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 only | 1 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 10 (29%) |
| §103 only | 5 (14%) |
