The profile covers Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and shows 154 pending office actions. It records 26696 career applications, placing this substantial active workload within a broad application history.
The resolved allowance rate is 86.01%, and the average is 3.22 office actions per allowance. The figures distinguish current examination volume from resolved-case performance and response activity. Practitioners can use them to evaluate prosecution results while planning resources for a sizeable transportation and mechanical docket.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 42 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. 42 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 only | 4 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 11 (7%) |
| §103 only | 48 (33%) |
| §102 only | 9 (6%) |
| §112 only | 4 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 69 (47%) |
