This combination indicates current device-related examination work supported by extensive filing experience.
The resolved allowance rate is 85.26%, and allowed matters have averaged 2.8 office actions. The outcome figure and action figure serve different planning purposes: the first concerns resolved allowance results, while the second describes the examination activity typically associated with those results. Counsel can use both when assessing response strategy and expected prosecution effort.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
