Toray Industries (H K ) Ltd. is currently managing 1 pending office action within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This single action is assigned to HOANG, GIAO QT, who is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending case. The prosecution is highly focused, involving only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit.
This concentration indicates that the company's current efforts in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering space are focused on a single application or a very narrow set of claims. HOANG, GIAO QT is the sole official responsible for the 1 pending office action, making this examiner the primary point of contact for the company's current USPTO activity. Having only 1 distinct art unit involved suggests that the technical scope of the current prosecution is confined to a single specialized group, rather than being spread across multiple areas of the medical or mechanical fields.
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.
