Technische Universitaet Muenchen has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The current prosecution involves 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, indicating a localized effort within the patent office. Having this 1 pending office action means the institution's current prosecution risk and opportunity are tied to a single case. This level of concentration is typical for entities with a very specific patent filing strategy.
MCCULLERS, AARON KYLE is the busiest examiner for this portfolio. This examiner is handling 1 pending office action, which is the only pending action currently active for the institution. Since prosecution is limited to this examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the institution can focus its resources on addressing the specific concerns of this individual. The outcome of the assigned art unit's review will define the institution's current success rate in this technology area, as the division's technical standards govern the 1 pending action.
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.
