The Grafe Law Office, P.C. operates in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The firm has 401 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 66.26 percent. This rate shows the proportion of resolved applications that result in a patent. For a client, this percentage reflects the frequency of successful outcomes in completed cases.
The firm currently has 4 pending office actions. The average number of office actions per allowance is 3.06. This 3.06 office actions per allowance metric describes the typical interaction frequency with the USPTO. The 401 career applications and 4 pending office actions represent the firm's historical and current portfolio. These data points define the firm's prosecution cycle in its field.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (50%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
