WOOD, HERRON & EVANS, LLP specializes in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering, with 13720 career applications. The firm currently manages 124 pending office actions. It has a high resolved allowance rate of 87.67 percent, demonstrating a strong capability for securing patent grants in these engineering fields. The firm averages 2.67 office actions per allowance, which indicates a relatively efficient prosecution process.
This average of 2.67 suggests that the firm is often able to reach an allowance with fewer rounds of negotiation than many of its peers. Combined with the 87.67 percent allowance rate, these figures highlight the firm's effectiveness in navigating the USPTO for its 13720 career applications. For practitioners, the 124 pending office actions reflect a robust and active practice. The firm's ability to maintain an 87.67 percent allowance rate while averaging only 2.67 office actions per allowance across 13720 career applications shows a high level of proficiency in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector, providing clients with both success and efficiency in the patenting process.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 43 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. 43 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 only | 1 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (2%) |
| §103 only | 41 (28%) |
| §102 only | 9 (6%) |
| §112 only | 8 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 81 (56%) |
