ASEM IP COUNSEL has 10 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 141 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 80.56%, while the average is 2.23 office actions per allowance. The profile shows a current docket with a resolved outcome rate above half of applications and a relatively short action path among allowed matters.
For practitioners, the action average may support leaner initial resource planning, but it does not explain how claims were amended or which issues were decisive. The allowance rate concerns resolved applications and should not be applied directly to the 10 pending actions. The application figure provides historical context rather than a measure of current workload. File review remains necessary for device structure, functional claiming, and support issues.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (11%) |
| §102 only | 1 (11%) |
| §112 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (67%) |
