Saxton & Stump, LLC reports 1247 career applications, 17 pending office actions, and a Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems focus. The application history indicates a substantial practice record, while the pending docket identifies ongoing prosecution activity in a field spanning physical systems and digitally enabled functions.
The resolved allowance rate is 92.57%, and the average is 1.99 office actions per allowance. These figures provide complementary context: one addresses the share of resolved matters reaching allowance, and the other indicates the examination activity associated with an allowance. Practitioners can use them when setting expectations for portfolio management and response planning.
The metrics do not explain why particular applications succeeded or required action. Reviewers should still examine claim construction, prior-art distinctions, eligibility issues where relevant, and support for system interactions. The technology classification makes that technical review central to interpreting the historical indicators.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 1 (6%) |
| §103 only | 8 (47%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (41%) |
