CAESAR RIVISE, PC reports 34 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 4474 career applications. The resolved allowance rate is 83.38%, with an average of 2.98 office actions per allowance.
The application history gives substantial context to the reported outcome rate, while the pending docket identifies current examination work. The office-action average indicates that allowances have generally followed multiple recorded examination events. For patent owners, the profile supports planning that accounts for both historical resolution results and ongoing response activity.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 13 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. 13 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 | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 9 (28%) |
| §102 only | 2 (6%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 17 (53%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (3%) |
