THE WATSON IP GROUP, PLC handles Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering matters, with 1,093 career applications and 14 pending office actions. Its resolved allowance rate is 84.55%, reflecting a substantial allowance outcome across the recorded application base.
The average of 2.7 office actions per allowance indicates that allowed matters usually involve multiple examination exchanges. Practitioners can use that measure to anticipate prosecution effort, while the pending docket highlights current response obligations. The application volume gives context to the historical rate and helps separate overall outcome from the status of active matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (14%) |
| §102 only | 1 (7%) |
| §112 only | 4 (29%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (43%) |
