Ti Automotive (Fuldabrück) GmbH operates within the Chemistry & Materials technology area and currently has 1 pending office action. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, KESSLER JR, THOMAS JOSEPH. The prosecution of this portfolio is currently focused on a single matter, which allows the applicant to dedicate resources to a specific set of claims and technical arguments.
The data shows that 1 distinct art unit is involved in the review of the company's application. KESSLER JR, THOMAS JOSEPH is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending action. This means that the entire pending workload is managed by 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit, ensuring that the examination process is not fragmented across different USPTO departments.
For a practitioner, the presence of 1 pending office action and 1 distinct examiner simplifies the coordination of the prosecution strategy. The involvement of only 1 distinct art unit allows for a deep focus on the specific examination standards and prior art typically cited by that group. Since the busiest examiner pending count is 1, there are no other pending matters that require simultaneous management or cross-case coordination at this time.
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.
