TIAJOLOFF & KELLY LLP has 10 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and a career application volume of 537. These figures show current device and mechanical prosecution activity within a documented application practice.
The resolved allowance rate is 81.05%, and the average is 2.87 office actions per allowance. The rate describes resolved outcomes, while the average indicates the reported examination activity connected with allowed applications.
For practitioners, the 537-application history provides context for evaluating the pending workload and resolution measures. The profile supports review of docket activity and historical results, but does not specify the distribution of applications across device or mechanical technologies.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 3 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (67%) |
