Analysis

This profile covers Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and includes 2364 career applications. The resolved allowance rate is 90.92%, and the average is 2.5 office actions per allowance. The historical record shows favorable reported allowance outcomes with a limited sequence of examination actions before allowance on average.

The profile has 5 pending office actions, so the current unresolved workload is limited relative to the reported application history. Practitioners can use the allowance rate and action average to guide expectations for the active matters, while still reviewing each application independently. Focused responses may be appropriate where the pending actions present issues similar to those addressed in the completed record.

Written from this page's own data; every figure is computed from USPTO records and verified before publication.
