Holland & Hart LLP has 94 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. Its prosecution record covers 9843 career applications, indicating a substantial body of experience in which to assess current activity.
The resolved allowance rate is 85.05%, while the average is 3.21 office actions per allowance. Together, these figures indicate that successful cases commonly require multiple examination responses, but that a large majority of resolved applications reach allowance. Practitioners reviewing this profile can use the combination of workload, outcome rate, and response frequency to evaluate prosecution capacity and expected examination effort.
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.

| §101 only | 6 (6%) |
| §101 + other | 15 (16%) |
| §103 only | 25 (27%) |
