NEO IP records 78 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 2,769 career applications. The profile combines an active device and mechanical docket with a substantial historical application record.
The resolved allowance rate is 94.96%, and the average office actions per allowance is 2.36. The outcome measure indicates that most resolved matters reached allowance, while the action average shows that allowed matters typically proceeded through more than a single examination exchange.
For prosecution planning, the figures support a focus on maintaining claim clarity while managing a meaningful active docket. Practitioners may also examine the underlying files to identify whether the results reflect effective early amendments, technical declarations, interview practice, or recurring examiner issues.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 24 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. 24 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 | 6 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 11 (14%) |
| §103 only | 33 (42%) |
| §102 only | 2 (3%) |
| §112 only | 3 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 6 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 15 (19%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
