Bridgeway IP Law Group, PLLC has 194 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 2937 career applications. The current docket and application history both indicate substantial prosecution activity in the reported technical area.
The resolved allowance rate is 84.98%, and the average is 1.98 office actions per allowance. The outcome figure indicates a favorable allowance pattern, while the response average is below two office actions per allowance. This combination suggests that resolved matters commonly reach allowance with a relatively limited number of reported examination exchanges, although individual files may differ.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 42 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. 42 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 | 7 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 39 (21%) |
| §103 only | 46 (24%) |
| §102 only | 8 (4%) |
| §112 only | 8 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 6 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 71 (38%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
