MARTIN & FERRARO, LLP handles Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering matters, with 1,296 career applications and 11 pending office actions. The profile reports a 90.67% resolved allowance rate, so allowance has been the outcome for most resolved applications in the available record.
Those allowances required an average of 3.57 office actions. The figure suggests that examination commonly involved more than an initial review, while the pending docket identifies continuing prosecution work. Practitioners can use the combination to distinguish historical results from current workload.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 4 (36%) |
| §102 only | 1 (9%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (45%) |
