W_W,

You are v welcome! I regularly check in, but rarely ever post unless I think I have something to add.

That said, kudos to you on your 10+ patents, impressive! Re pendency in the USPTO, it varies greatly, depends on the Art Unit; eg, BioPharma & IOT can be 2-3X longer vis-à-vis a mechanical patent application. To address in certain situations, that is why (in part) the Patent Term Extension (PTE) is available. Something definitely useful for types of patents, such as a patent relating to drug products & medical devices, which are subject to a lengthy review process at the FDA.

Here is a good, high level article on PTE, if anyone is interested:
