DOWNS RACHLIN MARTIN PLLC has 28 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. Its profile records 2,296 career applications, providing historical context for the active workload.
The resolved allowance rate is 86.65%, and the average is 2.74 office actions per allowance. The outcome figure shows frequent allowance among resolved applications, while the average indicates that more than one examination exchange was commonly associated with allowance. Practitioners should use the pending count for docket management and the historical pattern to guide review of device and mechanical prosecution strategies.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 | 3 (11%) |
| §103 only | 5 (18%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 17 (61%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (4%) |
