Tomlinson McKinstry, P.C. works in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and has 12 pending office actions. Its career record includes 1284 applications, a resolved allowance rate of 91.52%, and an average of 2.63 office actions per allowance.
The profile combines a substantial application history with current docket activity. The resolved allowance rate supplies an outcome measure, while the office-action average indicates the examination effort associated with allowed cases. Those measures are historical and should not be assumed to predict every pending matter. For practitioners, the data supports evaluating both experience in the technology area and the relationship between prosecution activity and resolved allowances.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (27%) |
| §102 only | 2 (18%) |
| §112 only | 3 (27%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (18%) |
