MALLOY & MALLOY has handled 1717 career applications, primarily focusing on the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 88.75 percent. This allowance rate is achieved with an average of 1.98 office actions per allowance. Currently, the firm has 12 pending office actions.
These metrics describe the prosecution process, as the firm maintains its average office actions to secure an allowance across its 1717 career applications. The combination of an 88.75 percent allowance rate and the 1.98 average indicates the firm's handling of patent matters. For practitioners, this average serves as a benchmark for the firm's typical path to allowance in the medical devices sector. The 1717 career applications provide a broad data set for evaluating these performance metrics.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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.

| §101 + other | 1 (9%) |
| §103 only | 2 (18%) |
| §102 only | 2 (18%) |
