STRATEGIC PATENTS P.C. has 23 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 2074 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 73.36%, indicating that allowance was achieved in a majority of resolved matters, while a substantial portion did not reach that outcome.
The practice averages 3.41 office actions per allowance. This suggests that successful cases commonly required continued engagement with the examiner. The pending docket represents an active workload, and the career application record provides context for interpreting the allowance rate and action average when evaluating prosecution capability in this technology area.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 2 (9%) |
| §101 + other | 7 (30%) |
| §103 only | 10 (43%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (17%) |
