Chrisman Gallo Tochtrop LLC handles Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering matters across 3322 career applications. The profile includes 225 pending office actions, identifying a substantial active prosecution workload that requires systematic docket and examiner-response management.
The resolved allowance rate is 94.05%, and the average office actions per allowance is 2.61. The allowance rate indicates strong historical resolution results within the recorded portfolio, while the action average shows that successful matters still involved examination activity before allowance. Practitioners can apply these signals to resource planning while continuing to assess each device claim on its own technical and procedural record.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 54 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. 54 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.

| §101 only | 2 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 16 (7%) |
| §103 only | 62 (27%) |
