WARNER NORCROSS + JUDD LLP has 93 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 8058 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 92.57%, indicating that most resolved applications in the recorded portfolio reached allowance. The large application history gives substantial context to the active docket.
The practice averages 2.02 office actions per allowance. This suggests that successful matters commonly reach allowance after a limited number of examination exchanges, although focused claim refinement may still be necessary. Applicants can use the profile to anticipate active prosecution supported by a favorable recorded resolution pattern.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 21 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. 21 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.

| §101 only | 1 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (5%) |
| §103 only | 34 (36%) |
