COLLARD & ROE, P.C. has 109 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and a career application record of 11269. The profile shows a substantial active docket alongside a large historical application record in medical-device and mechanical-engineering technologies.
The resolved allowance rate is 83.15%, and the average is 2.96 office actions per allowance. These measures indicate that resolved matters reached allowance at the stated rate and generally involved multiple examination exchanges. They provide useful context for staffing, amendment planning, and client expectation setting across the pending docket.
The aggregate record does not reveal whether pending matters involve novelty, obviousness, disclosure, or procedural issues. Practitioners should therefore combine the historical measures with file-level review, especially when prioritizing responses across a docket of this size.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 24 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. 24 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 | 3 (3%) |
| §103 only | 39 (35%) |
| §102 only | 4 (4%) |
| §112 only | 9 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 55 (50%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
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.
