Maine Cernota & Curran has 22 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 2314 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 85.56%, with an average of 2.93 office actions per allowance.
The profile combines a current prosecution docket with a documented application base. The allowance rate characterizes resolved outcomes, while the office-action average indicates the reported examination activity associated with allowances. Practitioners can use the figures to frame current workload against recorded prosecution performance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 1 (4%) |
| §103 only | 7 (30%) |
| §112 only | 4 (17%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (39%) |
