Bochner PLLC focuses on Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and has 70 pending office actions. Its career record includes 1391 applications, giving practitioners a substantial base for reviewing prosecution activity in this technology area.
The resolved allowance rate is 81.37%, and the average number of office actions per allowance is 2.38. The figures support separate consideration of resolved outcomes and the examination activity associated with obtaining an allowance, alongside the current workload.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 17 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. 17 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 | 16 (24%) |
| §103 only | 16 (24%) |
| §102 only | 2 (3%) |
| §112 only | 5 (7%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 23 (34%) |
