Pitchford Fugett, PLLC has 6 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and 444 career applications. The current docket is relatively focused within the firm’s recorded prosecution activity, which is concentrated in the same broad technology area.
The resolved allowance rate is 86.83%, and the firm averages 2.34 office actions per allowance. The data indicates that a substantial share of resolved matters reached allowance after more than two recorded office-action events on average. Clients can use this profile to assess experience with transportation and mechanical cases while considering the firm’s demonstrated need for continued examination responses.
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.
