Fastbrick Ip Pty Ltd. is managing 7 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 7 actions are assigned to 7 distinct examiners. The prosecution is distributed across 3 distinct art units.
Spencer D Patton is the busiest examiner for the company, handling 1 pending office action. Each of the 7 distinct examiners has 1 pending action, creating a distributed workload. The involvement of 3 distinct art units indicates that while the examiners are all different, they are grouped into a smaller number of technical classifications. This structure suggests that the company's mechanical systems research is focused enough to stay within 3 distinct art units but involves 7 distinct examiners. Practitioners should be prepared for a variety of examiner perspectives across these 7 pending office actions. The 7 distinct examiners provide a broad range of individual review styles within the 3 distinct art units. This distribution means that no single examiner's style dominates the current prosecution of the 7 pending office actions.
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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (14%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (71%) |
