Analysis

Talem IP Law, LLP reports 740 career applications in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and 26 pending office actions. The profile combines a developed application history with an active office-action docket in the reported technology area.

The resolved allowance rate is 85.69%, and the average is 3.15 office actions per allowance. Resolved matters have commonly reached allowance, with allowances generally following several office-action events. The two measures distinguish the frequency of favorable outcomes from the prosecution activity associated with them.

This record gives practitioners a useful basis for reviewing reported experience, current workload, and resolution history. It does not identify claim scope, examiner assignments, or reasons for individual outcomes, so it should inform further diligence rather than substitute for matter-specific analysis.

Written from this page's own data; every figure is computed from USPTO records and verified before publication.
