Topinox Sarl is currently managing 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are spread across 3 distinct examiners, ensuring that no single individual has a disproportionate impact on the company's pending cases. The workload is also divided among 3 distinct art units, which reflects a breadth of technical classifications for the company's medical and mechanical inventions.
ELLIOTT, TOPAZ L is the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling 1 pending office action. Since there are 3 pending office actions in total, the workload is distributed with one case per examiner. The involvement of 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's innovations are being reviewed by different specialized groups within the USPTO. Practitioners must therefore coordinate three independent prosecution strategies to address the specific feedback from each examiner and art unit.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
