Nolte Lackenbach Siegel handles Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering matters, with 38 pending office actions and 5566 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 90.16%, indicating that resolved applications have reached allowance at a strong rate. The application figure shows a substantial recorded portfolio, while the pending inventory identifies continuing prosecution work.
The average of 2.66 office actions per allowance suggests that allowed matters generally require more than an initial examination exchange but do not reflect an especially extended response sequence within the reported data. Practitioners can pair this workload measure with the allowance rate when evaluating representation needs. The profile supports attention to both portfolio-scale docket controls and individual office-action strategy.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 13 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. 13 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 | 1 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 11 (29%) |
| §103 only | 12 (32%) |
| §102 only | 2 (5%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (24%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
