Tt Innovation AG currently manages 3 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 3 pending office actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners and are spread across 2 distinct art units. This indicates that while the company's innovations are concentrated in medical and mechanical fields, they are being reviewed by multiple individuals in 2 distinct art units. For a practitioner, this means that prosecution strategies must account for the standards of the different technical groups.
The busiest examiner for Tt Innovation AG is RUSHING-TUCKER, CHINYERE J, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since there are 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed, with each examiner managing an action. This decentralized structure means that no single examiner's decisions will disproportionately affect the entire portfolio. Success for the company's 3 pending office actions depends on the independent reviews of RUSHING-TUCKER, CHINYERE J and the other distinct examiners. Practitioners should focus on the specific tendencies of each examiner within the 2 distinct art units to effectively navigate the company's patent prosecution.
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. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
