Sanko Tekstil Isletmeleri San Ve Tic A S currently has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. Each of these 2 actions is assigned to a different distinct examiner and is located in a different distinct art unit. This one to one ratio between actions, examiners, and art units shows a completely distributed prosecution load.
Heather N. Mangine is listed as the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. With only 2 total actions pending, the portfolio is small and lacks any concentration within specific art units or under specific examiners. Practitioners managing these files face a unique set of circumstances for every active application. The involvement of 2 distinct art units for only 2 actions suggests that the company is pursuing protection for distinct technical innovations that do not fall under a single examination group.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (50%) |
