Dorsey & Whitney - SLC has 42 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The profile also includes 15,565 career applications, allowing current activity to be viewed alongside a broad prosecution history.
The resolved allowance rate is 88.12%, and the average is 3.29 office actions per allowance. The allowance rate applies to resolved applications, while the office-action average indicates that allowance commonly followed repeated examination. Practitioners reviewing this docket should distinguish unresolved matters from historical results and prioritize the open transportation and mechanical-system actions.
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 | 1 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (12%) |
| §103 only | 10 (24%) |
| §102 only | 4 (10%) |
| §112 only | 3 (7%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 17 (40%) |
