Topdon Technology Co. Ltd. currently has 1 pending office action under review. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, MCFARLAND, DANIEL PATRICK, who is also the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. The data shows 0 distinct art units associated with this portfolio, reflecting the administrative footprint for the current active case.
Because only MCFARLAND, DANIEL PATRICK is involved, the prosecution focus is concentrated on this individual's expectations. The absence of additional examiners simplifies the management of the portfolio, as the applicant only needs to address the specific requirements of the assigned examiner for their active intellectual property matters.
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.
