This profile covers Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and has 153 pending office actions. Its career record includes 9718 applications, with a resolved allowance rate of 86.8%. The profile therefore combines a substantial active docket with a broad historical application base.
The average of 3.05 office actions per allowance indicates the typical interaction level recorded for allowed matters. Practitioners can use the allowance rate as an outcome reference and the office-action average for workload planning. The pending docket should be evaluated as present activity, rather than treated as evidence about the historical resolution rate.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 36 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. 36 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 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 20 (13%) |
| §103 only | 38 (24%) |
| §102 only | 9 (6%) |
| §112 only | 9 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 73 (46%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
