LEVINE BAGADE HAN LLP has 3,255 career applications in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 87 pending office actions. The figures show an established prosecution history alongside a current docket that requires active management.
The resolved allowance rate is 84.47%, and the average is 3.98 office actions per allowance. The outcome rate describes the share of resolved matters reaching allowance, while the action average indicates that allowed matters commonly involved repeated examination activity.
Practitioners can use the pending count to prioritize current responses and the historical measures to frame expectations about prosecution effort. The data does not identify the specific technologies, claim types, or reasons for allowance within the reported matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 24 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. 24 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 only | 3 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 7 (8%) |
| §103 only | 20 (23%) |
| §102 only | 2 (2%) |
| §112 only | 4 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 6 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 40 (46%) |
| No statute on record | 2 (2%) |
