Tmk Designs LLC is currently managing 1 pending office action within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This single matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is being processed within 1 distinct art unit. The narrow scope of current prosecution reflects a highly focused interaction with the patent office.
ADDIE, RAYMOND W is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, accounting for the pending office action currently active. Because there is only a single examiner and art unit, the entirety of the company's pending workload is concentrated under a single point of review. This concentration in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area simplifies the tracking of prosecution milestones for the active matter.
The presence of the distinct examiner for the pending office action ensures a direct line of communication for the company's legal representatives. Since the portfolio is limited to the distinct art unit, the examination follows the specific guidelines of that group within the technology sector. ADDIE, RAYMOND W remains the sole examiner responsible for the current pending workload.
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.
