MOORE & VAN ALLEN PLLC has 65 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and 4902 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 84.94%, with an average of 3.54 office actions per allowance.
The career application figure establishes a broad historical record in the listed technology area. The allowance rate provides a resolved-outcome measure, while the office-action average describes examination activity associated with allowances.
The profile gives practitioners a substantial basis for evaluating both current workload and historical prosecution behavior. It can support diligence concerning experience, outcome patterns, and the likely examination process, while individual matter review remains necessary for a case-specific assessment.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 19 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. 19 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 | 4 (6%) |
| §103 only | 25 (39%) |
| §102 only | 2 (3%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 30 (47%) |
