ZION IP handles Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems matters and has 31 pending office actions. Its career record includes 396 applications, which provides the historical scale for interpreting the current docket. The resolved allowance rate is 75.86%, indicating that allowance accounts for a smaller share of resolved outcomes than the unresolved or otherwise non-allowed portion of that record.
The average is 1.82 office actions per allowance. That figure describes the examination activity associated with allowed matters and indicates that those matters generally reached allowance after fewer than two office actions on average. For practitioners, the profile presents a combination of active pending work, a defined application history, and an allowance outcome that warrants careful attention to prosecution strategy. Transportation, e-commerce, and mechanical cases may require different claim-development approaches within the same reported practice area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 5 (18%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (21%) |
| §103 only | 8 (29%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (29%) |
