Wiley works in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and reports 1185 career applications. Six pending office actions are shown, indicating a defined current unresolved workload. The resolved allowance rate is 82.33%, showing that allowance was recorded for a substantial share of resolved applications.
Allowances average 4.51 office actions, indicating that successful matters commonly proceed through several examination responses. The action average is notably important for prosecution planning because it describes effort even when the outcome measure reflects a majority of resolved matters reaching allowance. Practitioners should consider the application base, pending docket, allowance rate, and action average as separate indicators of scale, current workload, outcome, and process intensity.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
