Fort Robotics Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, indicating separate examination paths without repeated assignments.
ZEE, EDWARD is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The practical approach is direct management of each robotics and security application, including separate analysis of claim scope and technical distinctions. The profile does not identify a broader examiner or art-unit pattern.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
