This profile covers Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and includes 1293 career applications. The resolved allowance rate is 88.02%, with an average of 3.01 office actions per allowance. The reported record shows a broad prosecution base, a favorable allowance outcome for resolved matters, and several examination interactions before allowance.
The profile contains 19 pending office actions, giving the firm an active workload in addition to its historical record. Practitioners can use the allowance rate as an outcome indicator and the action average to plan response effort. The pending matters should still be evaluated on their own merits, because historical results do not determine the outcome of unresolved device cases.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (5%) |
| §103 only | 4 (21%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (68%) |
