THOT PATENT has 21 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and a career application volume of 1217. The profile records current examination work within a practice covering transportation, electronic commerce, and mechanical systems.
The resolved allowance rate is 89.24%, and the average is 2.95 office actions per allowance. These metrics provide separate indicators of resolved outcomes and examination activity associated with allowed applications.
For practitioners, the 1217-application history gives the pending docket and outcome measures a defined practice context. The record supports review of current workload and historical results, but does not show how the applications are distributed among the listed technology areas.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 + other | 1 (5%) |
| §103 only | 4 (21%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (68%) |
