TrikaUSA Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the company's current prosecution is not concentrated in a single examination group, requiring a strategy that addresses 2 different technical areas within the USPTO. The 2 pending office actions are being reviewed independently, which means the outcome of 1 case does not necessarily impact the other.
The busiest examiner, ELLIOTT, ANDREW JAMES, is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the 2 pending office actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners, the company faces 2 independent paths of prosecution. Practitioners must manage the specific preferences of ELLIOTT, ANDREW JAMES for 1 matter while adapting to a different examiner for the other. With 2 distinct art units involved, the 2 pending office actions are subject to different specialized reviews, ensuring that the portfolio's outcomes are determined by a variety of technical perspectives in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
