Nakanishi IP Associates, LLC has 12 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 602 career applications. The record shows an active practice with a defined application history in device and engineering technologies.
The resolved allowance rate is 81.87%, and the average is 2.14 office actions per allowance. The outcome measure is paired with an average involving more than one office action, giving practitioners a basis for considering both resolution and examination effort.
The profile is most useful when historical metrics are reviewed alongside the individual claims and office-action issues. The pending docket indicates current activity, while the career applications establish the scale of the reported record.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 (8%) |
| §103 only | 6 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (42%) |
