Tente GmbH & Co. Kg currently manages 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company's prosecution activity is restricted to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, showing a specific point of engagement with the patent office. This concentration implies that the company's current patenting efforts are focused on a particular mechanical or system-based innovation rather than a wide range of technologies. This focus can help in developing a deep understanding of the prior art cited by the unit.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is WILLIAMS, THOMAS J, who is assigned 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since this is the only pending action for the company, the progress of their Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems filings rests with this examiner's evaluation. The singular nature of this interaction means that the company's immediate prosecution results will be defined by the dialogue between the applicant and the examiner.
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.
