Tyco Electronics Raychem GmbH currently has 1 pending office action within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is being processed within 1 distinct art unit. This structure indicates that the company's current patent office activity is focused on a specific technical point. The presence of the art unit suggests that the technology being patented falls within a particular classification at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the company is BLADES, JOHN A, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since this examiner handles the pending matter, they are the individual currently evaluating the company's applications. For a practitioner, this means that the prosecution strategy is dependent on the feedback and requirements of the examiner within their assigned art unit. The lack of multiple pending actions simplifies the administrative tracking of the portfolio, as all communications are centralized. This concentration allows for a focused strategy when addressing the requirements of the art unit involved.
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.
