This profile covers Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and shows 11 pending office actions. The record includes 427 career applications, providing a defined historical base for interpreting the current docket.
The resolved allowance rate is 88.25%, and the average is 4.52 office actions per allowance. The resolved portfolio shows a high allowance rate, but allowances are associated with a comparatively extended sequence of office actions.
For prosecution planning, the data supports favorable outcome expectations with careful attention to examination workload. Practitioners should use the allowance rate to assess results and the action average to plan for continued responses before allowance.
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.
