DORITY & MANNING, P.A. and MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL has 34 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The profile also records 28,426 career applications, providing a broad historical base for interpreting the prosecution record.
The resolved allowance rate is 88.25%, while the average is 3.38 office actions per allowance. Together, these figures indicate that many resolved matters reached allowance, although an allowance typically followed multiple office actions. For practitioners, the combination of active work and repeated examination activity supports close tracking of response strategy, claim amendments, and unresolved files in this technology area.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 14 (42%) |
| §112 only | 2 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 16 (48%) |
