Analysis

This profile records 8 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 20556 career applications. The open-action figure identifies current activity, while the application figure describes the larger supplied prosecution record.

The resolved allowance rate is 75.45%, and the average is 3.18 office actions per allowance. The historical figures indicate an allowance result below four-fifths and more than three office actions for allowed cases.

For practitioners, the data provides workload and historical context, but it does not isolate outcomes for this particular matter grouping. Any application-level assessment requires information beyond the supplied profile.

Written from this page's own data; every figure is computed from USPTO records and verified before publication.
