Dority & Manning, P.A. and GEC-Aviation has 47 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 28426 career applications. The profile reflects a substantial active workload alongside a broad application history in a field involving mechanical engineering and device-related technology, potentially including aviation-adjacent systems with medical or mechanical components.
The resolved allowance rate is 88.25%, with an average of 3.38 office actions per allowance. These measures give historical context for the current docket and show the examination activity associated with resolved allowances in the recorded history. Practitioners can use the combination to examine workload and outcome patterns without treating the historical figures as a prediction for any pending matter.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 14 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. 14 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 | 1 (2%) |
| §103 only | 13 (30%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (7%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 6 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 21 (48%) |
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.
