Fingerprint Cards Anacatum Ip AB currently has 2 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, meaning each pending matter is being handled by a different individual. This distribution requires the company to manage separate prosecution tracks simultaneously, each tailored to the specific examiner's feedback.
Both pending office actions are located within 1 distinct art unit. This concentration suggests that while the examiners are different, the technical review is centralized within 1 department of the patent office. Working within 1 art unit may provide the company with a more consistent experience regarding the technical standards and prior art typically cited in the Communications field.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is MEMON, OWAIS IQBAL, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This examiner handles a portion of the 2 total pending actions for the company. Since the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the workload is divided between the 2 distinct examiners, requiring focus on the specific nuances of each examiner's review process.
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.
