Bass Patent Law, LLC has 8 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 140 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 83.08%, and the average is 1.41 office actions per allowance.
The profile combines a small active docket with a defined application record. The allowance rate supplies a historical outcome measure, while the action average indicates that resolved allowances generally followed limited office-action activity. Practitioners should use the figures as complementary indicators, with the pending count describing current work and the career measures describing the broader record.
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 | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 4 (50%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (25%) |
