Foundry Innovation & Research 1 Ltd. has 5 pending office actions focused on Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. These 5 pending office actions are spread across 5 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. The distribution across 2 art units suggests a technical focus within the medical device field, even as the company engages with a unique examiner for each pending action. This structure implies that while the technical scope is concentrated, the procedural feedback comes from several different perspectives at the USPTO.
ALDARRAJI, ZAINAB MOHAMMED is the busiest examiner for this entity, holding 1 pending office action. Because the 5 pending office actions are split among 5 distinct examiners, there is no concentration of workload with any single individual. This distribution indicates that the portfolio's 5 pending matters are being processed independently across the 2 identified art units. For practitioners, this means that successful arguments in one case may not necessarily influence the others due to the diversity of examiners involved. The 5 distinct examiners ensure that each of the 5 pending office actions receives an individual review.
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 | 2 (40%) |
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
