IPSILON USA has managed 2645 career applications in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The firm currently has 34 pending office actions and a resolved allowance rate pct of 81.43.
Prosecution at the firm involves an avg office actions per allowance of 3.37. This 3.37 figure provides a basis for practitioners to anticipate the number of examiner interactions required in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector. The 81.43 resolved allowance rate pct reflects the proportion of cases that reached allowance relative to the 2645 career applications. The 34 pending office actions represent the current cases awaiting a USPTO response.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 | 7 (13%) |
| §103 only | 16 (30%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 28 (53%) |
