Lewis & Reese, PLLC has 1,131 career applications in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 22 pending office actions. The application history gives context for the firm’s prosecution activity, while the pending figure identifies the current workload.
The resolved allowance rate is 94.77%, and the average is 3.81 office actions per allowance. These figures show the reported rate at which resolved matters reached allowance and the amount of office-action activity associated with allowed matters.
For practitioners, the historical outcome should not replace application-level review. The pending matters require current docket management, and their prosecution posture may depend on issues not captured by the aggregate figures.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 | 2 (8%) |
| §103 only | 11 (46%) |
| §102 only | 3 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (33%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
