Kim IP Law Group LLC handles Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering matters and has 1110 career applications. The firm currently shows 35 pending office actions, providing evidence of an active prosecution docket rather than a purely historical practice.
Its resolved allowance rate is 88.43%. The average of 2.98 office actions per allowance indicates that allowed matters commonly involved multiple examination exchanges, which is relevant when planning response resources and client timelines.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 4 (12%) |
| §103 only | 5 (15%) |
| §102 only | 6 (18%) |

| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
