BLUE WATER INNOVATIONS, LLC is pursuing patent rights within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company's current prosecution profile features 1 pending office action, which is the only active matter reported. TEHRANI, DANIEL is the busiest examiner for the company, handling this specific pending case. The dedication to this sector highlights the company's core area of innovation.
The company's interaction with the USPTO is currently limited to 1 distinct examiner and a distinct art unit. Because TEHRANI, DANIEL is responsible for the busiest examiner pending action, the company's immediate legal results are concentrated in a specific area of examination. This streamlined approach indicates that the company is not currently managing a broad range of examiner perspectives or the requirements of multiple art units. For a practitioner, this highlights a prosecution environment where the outcome of a single office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector is the central focus of the company's current efforts.
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.
