Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Team Technologies Inc. is currently prosecuting patent applications within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio contains 2 pending office actions. These 2 pending office actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners, which indicates that each matter is being reviewed by a different individual. This distribution suggests that the company's prosecution strategy must account for two different sets of examiner preferences.
The company's current activity is situated within 2 distinct art units. This involvement in 2 distinct art units shows that the technical subject matter is being evaluated by two specialized groups. LONG, DONNELL ALAN is the busiest examiner for this portfolio and is currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Because LONG, DONNELL ALAN only handles 1 pending office action, his influence is limited to a single case within the current portfolio.
With 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, the prosecution process is distributed across multiple technical divisions. Practitioners can focus on the specific requirements of each of the 2 distinct art units. The 2 pending office actions represent the current workload that must be managed. The role of LONG, DONNELL ALAN is one of two separate examiner interactions, ensuring a decentralized review process for the portfolio.
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.
