Tricam Industries, LLC has 3 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, creating a separate examination path for every matter.
KANDAS, NICHOLAS R is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The data shows no concentration that would support a portfolio-wide examiner strategy. Individual review of each action, supported by consistent treatment of related mechanical claim concepts, is the appropriate management focus.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
