MCNEES WALLACE & NURICK LLC practices in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and has 3,244 career applications. The profile records 40 pending office actions and an 83.17% resolved allowance rate.
The average of 3.19 office actions per allowance indicates that prosecution commonly extends beyond a single examination exchange. Counsel evaluating this practice can use the allowance rate and pending count together to assess both historical outcomes and current activity.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 | 1 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (10%) |
| §103 only | 14 (34%) |
| §102 only | 2 (5%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 17 (41%) |
