Tokyo Rope Mfg Co. Ltd. currently maintains 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, each reviewing a separate application. The portfolio is active in 2 distinct art units, indicating that each pending matter falls into a different technical classification. This variety suggests a diverse technical focus within the mechanical systems field for the company's current filings.
The busiest examiner, MASINICK, JONATHAN PETER, is responsible for 1 pending office action. This examiner handles one of the 2 pending office actions currently active for the company. The presence of 2 distinct art units for only 2 pending office actions requires the applicant to address the specific requirements of different examination groups. This structure means that the prosecution of each matter is entirely independent. Practitioners must tailor their strategies to the individual examiners and art units within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector.
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.
