Fst Innovation Pty Ltd. is active in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area, where it currently manages 2 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, indicating that the company is simultaneously navigating multiple reviews. Furthermore, the prosecution involves 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the portfolio's technical breadth spans different regulatory groups within the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is BAHL, SANGEETA, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. This examiner accounts for a portion of the 2 pending office actions currently active. Because the 2 pending office actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, the company must adapt its prosecution tactics to the specific standards of 2 different administrative environments.
This distribution across 2 distinct art units requires a coordinated effort to ensure consistency in claim construction. With 2 distinct examiners involved, the workload is not concentrated on a single individual. Practitioners should prepare for the unique requirements of both BAHL, SANGEETA and the other examiner involved in the 2 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
