MEYER UNKOVIC & SCOTT LLP handles Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems applications, with 650 career applications and 18 pending office actions. Its resolved allowance rate is 87.2%, indicating favorable results among resolved matters.
Applications reaching allowance averaged 3.21 office actions. The profile therefore reflects a meaningful prosecution history, continuing docket activity, and a pattern in which successful cases generally required multiple examination rounds.
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 | 8 (40%) |
| §102 only | 2 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (45%) |
