Brown & Brown IP Law PLLC has 6 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 98 career applications. The current docket is limited in size relative to the application record shown, and both figures describe the profile’s activity in this technology area.
The resolved allowance rate is 64.29%, with an average of 3.6 office actions per allowance. These measures show that resolved outcomes include allowance in the listed share of cases, while the average reflects examination continuing through multiple actions. Practitioners should consider both the outcome record and the need for sustained responses in device and mechanical matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
