WELSH FLAXMAN & GITLER LLC focuses on Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and has 2,252 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 78.65%, providing an outcome measure across a substantial recorded history.
The profile shows 15 pending office actions, and allowed matters average 3.15 office actions. The figures indicate both an active docket and a prosecution process in which successful matters commonly involve several office-action responses.
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 | 5 (31%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (50%) |
