Maywood IP Law handles Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering matters and has 558 career applications. Its profile includes 15 pending office actions and an 89.63% resolved allowance rate, indicating that allowance was the outcome for most resolved applications.
The average of 3.2 office actions per allowance shows that successful resolution commonly involved multiple examination actions. The profile therefore combines a moderate application history with ongoing work and a record of generally favorable resolved outcomes.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 (31%) |
| §102 only | 1 (8%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (54%) |
