Analysis

SHAVER & SWANSON, LLP has 6 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Its record contains 970 career applications, giving the current workload a broader prosecution context.

The resolved allowance rate is 70.54%, and allowed matters averaged 2.58 office actions per allowance. These figures give practitioners two distinct review points: the rate describes outcomes among resolved matters, while the average describes the examination activity associated with allowances. The pending matters may warrant separate attention because they are not represented by a resolved result.
