Stratford Group Ltd. has 9 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 937 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 85.52%, indicating that allowance was reached in most resolved matters.
The firm averages 3.51 office actions per allowance. That level indicates continued examination work in successful cases, even with a favorable allowance outcome. The current docket and historical application record should be considered separately: one describes present activity, while the other supports evaluation of prosecution results and effort across the reported portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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.
