SCHMEISER, OLSEN & WATTS reports 8011 career applications, 15 pending office actions, and a Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems focus. The application total indicates a broad historical record, while the pending workload identifies continuing active prosecution. These measures should be read as separate views of practice activity.
The resolved allowance rate is 80.86%, and the average is 2.93 office actions per allowance. The outcome rate and action average provide distinct planning information, covering historical resolution and examination effort. They can help practitioners frame portfolio expectations, but neither explains the claim or technology features associated with any individual result.
Review should connect the metrics to the prosecution record by examining mechanical structure, operational steps, system interactions, and applicable prior-art or eligibility positions. That file-specific work is necessary before relying on the aggregate indicators for strategy or resource planning.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 12 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. 12 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 | 2 (14%) |
| §103 only | 4 (29%) |
| §112 only | 3 (21%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (36%) |
