Sanders IP Law handles Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Its profile records 1,186 career applications and 50 pending office actions, reflecting an established application history and an active current workload.
The resolved allowance rate is 92.52%, and the average is 3.48 office actions per allowance. The rate provides a historical outcome measure, while the action average describes prosecution activity associated with applications that reached allowance. Clients can assess these figures alongside the firm’s technology focus when considering representation for transportation, e-commerce, or mechanical claims.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 21 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. 21 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 | 5 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 11 (22%) |
| §103 only | 15 (29%) |
| §102 only | 3 (6%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 15 (29%) |
