Cantor Colburn LLP - Collins Aerospace reports 50 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The associated career application record is 74576, with a resolved allowance rate of 88.02% and an average of 3.15 office actions per allowance.
The pending-action figure reflects current examination activity for this profile. The historical measures describe a broader prosecution record, with the allowance rate addressing resolved outcomes and the office-action average addressing activity before allowance. This distinction helps practitioners separate immediate docket management from historical planning assumptions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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 | 4 (8%) |
| §103 only | 18 (35%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 27 (52%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
