A: Patent applications can take several years to process before they are granted. The time it takes depends on many factors, such as the complexity of the invention, the backlog at the patent office, and how quickly you respond to requests for more information.

Your patents, identified as 20230222333 and 20220375461, might still be under review because the patent examination process involves multiple stages, including an initial review, search, and examination. Each stage can uncover issues that need to be addressed before moving to the next step.

To find out more about the current status of your applications, you can check the USPTO website using their Public PAIR tool or contact the patent examiner assigned to your case. This will provide you with detailed information on any outstanding requirements or issues that need your attention.
