Blue Topaz Technology LLC operates within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio currently shows 1 pending office action. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit. Kevin F Murphy serves as the busiest examiner for the company, handling 1 pending office action. Because there is only one such matter, prosecution is currently concentrated under a single examiner and art unit.
The presence of 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit for the company's active case indicates a focused and centralized prosecution effort. This concentration means that the outcome of the company's current activity in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector depends entirely on the review of Kevin F Murphy. Practitioners managing this portfolio only need to navigate the specific requirements and tendencies of one individual examiner. The data reflects a single point of contact for the entirety of the company's current interaction with the patent office.
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.
