Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
46 pending office actions • 6 clients • 40 examiners • 16 art units • 0 of 46 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Reinhart’s Milwaukee Tool profile covers Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and has 44 pending office actions. The record includes 1360 career applications, providing a substantial application base for interpreting the firm’s prosecution pattern. Its resolved allowance rate is 97.88%, showing that nearly all resolved matters in the reported record reached allowance.
The profile records 2.58 office actions per allowance. This indicates that allowed matters generally required multiple prosecution interactions, even with the strong resolved allowance result. For a practitioner evaluating representation, the combination suggests extensive experience in the relevant technology area, a high rate of favorable resolution, and a process that still involves meaningful office-action management.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 17 (37%) |
| §102 only | 4 (9%) |
| §112 only | 3 (7%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (7%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 17 (37%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
