Slowave Inc. is managing a patent portfolio within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The current prosecution activity is limited to 1 pending office action, which is being reviewed by 1 distinct examiner. This activity is confined to a single distinct art unit, suggesting a very narrow technical focus for the company's current pending applications. This concentrated profile indicates that the company is likely pursuing a specific innovation rather than a broad array of mechanical technologies.
The busiest examiner assigned to Slowave Inc. is TRAN, THIEN JASON, who is handling a single pending office action. This examiner is responsible for the totality of the company's active prosecution in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector. With only a single pending action and a single examiner, the company's current patent strategy appears to be highly concentrated on a single matter or a very small set of closely related claims. For the company, this means that the outcome of their current patenting efforts depends entirely on the decisions made by this examiner within their specific art unit.
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.
