HDLS IPR SERVICES operates in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering with 4325 career applications. The firm currently handles 45 pending office actions. Its resolved allowance rate pct is 88.94, showing the proportion of its applications that successfully reach allowance. This history of 4325 applications indicates a significant presence in the medical device sector and provides a basis for evaluating the firm's long-term performance.
The average office actions per allowance is 1.98. This metric suggests that applications often reach allowance with approximately two office actions. For clients in the medical device sector, this average of 1.98 provides a benchmark for the expected level of examiner interaction and the likely speed of the prosecution process. The 45 pending office actions reflect the firm's ongoing engagement with the USPTO. The combination of an 88.94 resolved allowance rate pct and a 1.98 average office actions per allowance highlights the firm's prosecution efficiency.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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 | 3 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (8%) |
| §103 only | 18 (31%) |
| §102 only | 5 (8%) |
| §112 only | 4 (7%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 23 (39%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
