VAN PELT, YI & JAMES LLP reports 93 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and 7120 career applications. The application volume establishes a substantial prosecution base, while the pending docket identifies matters still requiring examination attention.
The resolved allowance rate is 93.72%, with 3.69 office actions per allowance on average. The outcome rate supports a favorable resolved-case profile, but the action average indicates that allowance commonly follows several examination events.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 36 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. 36 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 only | 12 (13%) |
| §101 + other | 13 (14%) |
| §103 only | 30 (32%) |
| §102 only | 3 (3%) |
| §112 only | 4 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 29 (31%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
