Dymera IP, LLC operates in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and has 19 pending office actions across 216 career applications. The figures identify an active practice supported by a recorded application portfolio.
The resolved allowance rate is 82.05%, while allowed matters average 4.31 office actions per allowance. The outcome measure indicates that many resolved matters reach allowance, but the office-action average shows that successful prosecution commonly involves substantial examination interaction. This is relevant when budgeting response work and developing amendment strategy for medical-device cases.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (29%) |
| §103 only | 8 (38%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (14%) |
