Teleflex Medical LLC maintains a patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio currently features 3 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, showing a diverse range of examination environments for the company's mechanical technologies.
The busiest examiner is NORTH, ISABELLA SARAH HYO SO, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This examiner's workload is part of the total 3 pending office actions. This distribution across multiple examiners and art units suggests that the company's prosecution strategy involves navigating several different sets of examiner expectations simultaneously.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
