ANDRUS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW, LLP has 129 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 9,456 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 88.95%, with an average of 2.83 office actions per allowance. The profile reflects a broad prosecution base and a substantial active docket.
The allowance rate supplies an outcome measure across the reported application activity, while the office-action average indicates the examination effort associated with allowances. For practitioners, the figures support review of medical device and mechanical claim strategies at scale. Current matters warrant careful triage, especially where related applications or recurring examination issues may affect response planning.
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.

| §101 + other | 4 (3%) |
| §103 only | 35 (28%) |
| §102 only | 11 (9%) |
