R. Ruschena Patent Agent, LLC handles Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering matters and has 9 pending office actions. Its record includes 274 career applications, an 82.77% resolved allowance rate, and an average of 3.5 office actions per allowance.
The allowance rate indicates that a majority of resolved applications reached allowance. The office-action average shows that allowed matters commonly required several examination responses, pointing to a prosecution process in which persistence and claim adjustment can be material.
The active docket is modest relative to the reported career application volume. For device practitioners, these figures provide a historical benchmark for outcome and response effort, but they do not identify the claims, examiner issues, or status of any particular pending application.
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 (12%) |
| §103 only | 1 (12%) |
| §112 only | 4 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (25%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
