Analysis

USCH Law, PC reports 28 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 678 career applications. The pending workload is shown alongside a recorded application base, giving practitioners context for the active docket.

The resolved allowance rate is 82.53%, and the average is 2.22 office actions per allowance. These measures indicate that resolved matters involve examination activity before allowance, while the allowance rate supplies a reported outcome measure.

The profile therefore supports both workload review and historical assessment. Practitioners can consider the application total when evaluating recorded activity, then use the allowance and office-action measures to plan responses and set expectations for prosecution demands.

Written from this page's own data; every figure is computed from USPTO records and verified before publication.
