Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg has 4 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are assigned to 4 examiners and 4 art units, creating a distinct examination path for each pending matter.
QURESHI, REHMAN AHMED is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner has a larger identified assignment, so counsel should focus on matter-specific response development rather than relying on a recurring examiner strategy.
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 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
