The 2536 career applications and 89.72 percent allowance rate establish the firm's historical performance in this sector. The 3.35 average helps practitioners understand the typical procedural requirements for reaching an allowance. With 27 pending office actions, the firm maintains its presence in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. This data set reflects the firm's documented experience and current workload within the patent office. The recorded metrics provide a baseline for procedural duration in this specific field. Practitioners can evaluate the intensity of examiner interaction and resource requirements based on these historical figures. These statistics offer a view of the firm's prosecution profile.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 | 3 (10%) |
| §103 only | 9 (29%) |
| §102 only | 2 (6%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 16 (52%) |
