Illumisen Inc. is currently managing 1 pending office action in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This prosecution activity is limited to a single distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, showing a very narrow and focused active portfolio. The concentration in this technology area indicates that the company's current patent efforts are likely centered on a single core mechanical or medical invention.
The busiest examiner, CATTUNGAL, SANJAY, is assigned a single pending office action. This examiner is responsible for all of the company's current office action activity. The concentration within a single distinct art unit indicates that the pending application falls within a specific technical specialty of the mechanical engineering division. For the company, the results of its current patent strategy depend on navigating the requirements of this examiner and the specific procedural nuances of the art unit involved.
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.
