Melcher Patent Law PLLC handles Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems matters across 1,266 career applications. The profile lists 5 pending office actions and an 82.77% resolved allowance rate.
The average of 3.22 office actions per allowance provides a planning measure for expected examination activity. The small pending count indicates limited current docket activity within the available profile.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 1 (17%) |
