The profile covers Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and shows 87 pending office actions. The record includes 26696 career applications, providing broad historical context for the active docket.
The resolved allowance rate is 86.01%, with an average of 3.22 office actions per allowance. These figures present separate measures of resolved allowance performance and examination activity. They can inform resource planning for ongoing matters while keeping outcome analysis distinct from current workload.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 19 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. 19 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 | 6 (7%) |
| §103 only | 19 (21%) |
| §102 only | 6 (7%) |
| §112 only | 6 (7%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 49 (54%) |
