Tyco Electronics UK Ltd. is currently handling 3 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units, reflecting a diverse set of technical filings. The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners, which is equal to the total number of pending office actions. This distribution indicates that each of the company's current applications is being evaluated by a different technical expert in a different specialized group within the patent office.
The busiest examiner, GARFT, CHRISTOPHER, is responsible for 1 pending office action. With 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units for 3 pending office actions, the portfolio's active cases are entirely decentralized. This requires the applicant to address the specific requirements of 3 different technical groups within the Chemistry & Materials sector. Because there is no overlap in examiners or art units, the prosecution of each case is likely to proceed on its own timeline and according to its own specific technical challenges. Practitioners should be prepared for 3 distinct sets of examiner interactions, as the 3 pending office actions are spread across the maximum possible number of examiners and art units.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
