This profile has 89 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. Its broader record covers 8915 career applications, with a resolved allowance rate of 84.63% and an average of 3.77 office actions per allowance.
The pending workload indicates substantial active prosecution in a medical device and mechanical engineering practice. The allowance rate and office-action average provide context for evaluating resolution patterns, response demands, and prosecution resource needs.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 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. 18 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.
