STINSON LLP reports 185 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and 9209 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 81.61%, indicating that allowance was common across the resolved record, although a material portion did not reach that outcome.
The firm averages 3.31 office actions per allowance. That level of examination activity suggests that allowed matters often involve sustained prosecution. The combination of a large career application base and a substantial pending docket makes the profile relevant for clients seeking capacity in this technology area, while the allowance rate and action average provide separate measures of outcome and prosecution effort.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 67 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. 67 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.
