Botos Churchill IP Law LLP-RMD has 30 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 2388 career applications. The profile reflects a substantial recorded application base and an active current docket.
The resolved allowance rate is 95.76%, while the average is 4.12 office actions per allowance. Resolved matters therefore show a high allowance incidence, but the typical path includes several office-action exchanges. This information is relevant to clients balancing outcome objectives with the time and effort required to prosecute applications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 only | 3 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (17%) |
| §103 only | 9 (31%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (31%) |
