The resolved allowance rate is 97.59%, and allowed matters receive an average of 5.4 office actions. The profile pairs a resolved outcome measure with a comparatively involved path to allowance as reflected in the office-action average. Practitioners can use the data to separate results from response workload when planning prosecution strategy.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.

| §101 + other | 4 (57%) |
