Technology area: Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems
15 pending office actions • 11 clients • 14 examiners • 11 art units • 0 of 15 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 18 patents granted in the last 365 days
Alley IP has 14 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and 406 career applications. The current docket is supported by a meaningful application history in the same broad technology area.
The resolved allowance rate is 84.05%, with an average of 3.27 office actions per allowance. Resolved cases therefore combine allowance outcomes with several examination exchanges. Practitioners can use these measures when planning response capacity and setting expectations for iterative prosecution.
The data distinguishes current workload from historical results, but it does not show how outcomes vary by transportation, e-commerce, or mechanical-system subject matter. Application-specific review remains necessary for claim and examiner strategy.
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 | 2 (13%) |
| §103 only | 2 (13%) |
| §112 only | 2 (13%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (60%) |
