This profile covers Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and includes 9481 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 88.4%, with an average of 2.99 office actions per allowance. The record shows a broad prosecution base, favorable reported allowance outcomes, and several examination events commonly preceding allowance.
The profile contains 232 pending office actions, creating a large active workload. Counsel can use the historical metrics to plan response resources and evaluate recurring prosecution patterns, while reviewing pending applications independently. The action average suggests that effective prosecution often involves more than one examination interaction, making timely amendments and focused responses important across the transportation and mechanical docket.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 54 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. 54 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 only | 4 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 20 (9%) |
| §103 only | 68 (29%) |
| §102 only | 16 (7%) |
| §112 only | 13 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (0%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 108 (46%) |
