Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP reports 7569 career applications in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and 188 pending office actions. The application figure reflects a broad reported history, while the pending figure identifies a large active office-action docket in this technology area.
The resolved allowance rate is 85.85%, and the average is 2.85 office actions per allowance. Resolved matters have commonly proceeded to allowance, with allowances generally following several office-action events. The pairing helps practitioners assess both reported results and the prosecution activity associated with those results.
The profile supports portfolio-level diligence regarding experience, current workload, and disposition history. It does not identify claim types, examiner assignments, or matter-specific complexity, so these figures should not be treated as a prediction for any individual application.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 58 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. 58 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 | 7 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 14 (7%) |
| §103 only | 67 (35%) |
| §102 only | 10 (5%) |
| §112 only | 9 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 9 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 71 (37%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
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.
