USCH Law, PC has managed 662 career applications, primarily within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The firm has achieved a resolved allowance rate of 82.46 percent across its historical portfolio. This success rate indicates the ability to secure patent grants in fields characterized by mechanical and medical innovations.
The firm averages 2.23 office actions per allowance, which indicates the path to securing patent grants. This efficiency is a factor for clients seeking to manage prosecution costs and time. Currently, there are 18 pending office actions that require active management and responses from the firm's practitioners.
With 662 career applications and an 82.46 percent allowance rate, the firm demonstrates a track record in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The 2.23 office actions per allowance metric provides a benchmark for predicting the intensity of future prosecution cycles. These statistics provide a view of the firm's historical performance and current workload.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (8%) |
| §102 only | 5 (21%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 15 (62%) |
