This active docket is part of the firm's work with 479 career applications. The 80.89 percent resolved allowance rate provides a baseline for success in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The 5.12 average office actions per allowance reflects the prosecution strategy. This firm's data shows a commitment to overcoming examiner rejections, even when the process requires 5.12 office actions on average. The 80.89 percent resolved allowance rate is a metric for its 479 career applications. With 24 pending office actions, the firm remains engaged in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector, continuing its approach to patent prosecution. The 5.12 average office actions per allowance is a defining characteristic of its work in this field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 | 5 (13%) |
| §101 + other | 18 (46%) |
| §103 only | 4 (10%) |
| §102 only | 1 (3%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (15%) |
