Tt Technologies Inc. is managing 6 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are spread across 4 distinct art units, showing diversity in the mechanical systems being patented. The prosecution involves 5 distinct examiners, suggesting a relatively small but varied group of reviewers.
The busiest examiner for the company is TOLEDO-DURAN, EDWIN J, who is responsible for 2 pending actions. The remaining pending actions are distributed among the other 5 distinct examiners. This concentration with one examiner suggests that a portion of the 6 current pending actions is being evaluated by a single individual.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.

| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (17%) |
