BREINER & BREINER, L.L.C. has 11 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 850 career applications. The current docket is supported by a defined prosecution history.
The resolved allowance rate is 77.81%, with an average of 2.68 office actions per allowance. The outcome figure shows allowance in a substantial share of resolved matters, while the response average indicates a path that generally involves fewer than three office-action exchanges. The data supports practical planning around both resolution prospects and response workload.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (92%) |
