Technology area: Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
4 pending office actions • 2 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 4 patents granted in the last 365 days
Foundry Innovation & Research 1 Ltd. currently has 4 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are divided between 2 distinct art units, indicating a focused but split technical review process. The prosecution involves 4 distinct examiners, so each pending action is being reviewed by a different person.
ALDARRAJI, ZAINAB MOHAMMED is the busiest examiner, managing 1 pending office action. Because the pending office actions are distributed among different examiners, no single individual has a majority of the workload. Practitioners must prepare for unique examiner interactions across the 2 distinct art units.
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%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
