Via LLP reports 113 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 1191 career applications. The current docket is substantial, and the application figure provides context for the broader reported prosecution activity.
The resolved allowance rate is 90.25%, with an average of 2.77 office actions per allowance. The rate describes resolved outcomes, while the action average indicates the examination activity commonly associated with reaching allowance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 28 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. 28 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 | 2 (2%) |
| §103 only | 40 (34%) |
| §102 only | 5 (4%) |
| §112 only | 4 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 5 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 57 (49%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
