Marcus Trojan GmbH currently has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is being reviewed within a distinct art unit. This represents a singular and focused prosecution effort for the company's current patent applications.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is THEIS, MATTHEW T, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. As the total number of pending actions for Marcus Trojan GmbH is the same, THEIS, MATTHEW T manages the company's entire active workload at the USPTO. The outcome of the current prosecution depends on the specific examination conducted by this individual.
Practitioners should note that the Marcus Trojan GmbH portfolio lacks diversification across examiners or art units. The 1 distinct art unit indicates that the technology falls within a specific classification of the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field. With THEIS, MATTHEW T handling the only pending action, the prosecution strategy is centralized, requiring a focus on the standards and feedback of this examiner and their respective art unit.
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.
