Laabs Intellectual Property works in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and has 421 career applications. The profile records 11 pending office actions and a resolved allowance rate of 98.11%, meaning allowance is the recorded result for nearly all resolved matters in this dataset.
The average of 3.43 office actions per allowance supplies a separate view of prosecution activity. It indicates the office-action path associated with allowed matters, while the allowance rate describes the resolution outcome. The pending docket identifies current work, and the application history gives practitioners a substantial base for interpreting these measures when reviewing workload, case strategy, or expected prosecution attention.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 2 (18%) |
| §103 only | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (73%) |
