This profile records 68 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 12302 career applications. The open docket indicates current activity, while the application figure provides a broader measure of recorded prosecution work.
The resolved allowance rate is 87.07%, and allowed matters averaged 2.4 office actions. The historical figures show an allowance result above four-fifths and an average below three office actions for allowed cases.
For practitioners, this combination supports separate workload and outcome assessments. The pending figure addresses current demands, while the resolved figures offer historical context for device and mechanical matters. They do not predict the result of an individual application.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 22 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. 22 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 | 4 (6%) |
| §103 only | 23 (35%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 37 (56%) |
