This Reston profile covers Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and reports 19 pending office actions. The associated career record contains 21180 applications, a resolved allowance rate of 84.39%, and an average of 3.7 office actions per allowance.
The historical allowance rate indicates that a majority of resolved matters reached allowance, while the action average shows that allowed matters generally required multiple examination exchanges. Those measures describe the broader record and do not resolve the status of the open Reston matters.
Practitioners can use the profile to combine docket control with portfolio process review. The technology focus makes clear claim drafting, technical support, and targeted responses important, while each open action still requires analysis of the specific rejection and the client’s preferred scope.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 | 3 (14%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (9%) |
| §103 only | 9 (41%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (32%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (5%) |
