Shenzhen Carku Technology Co. Limited has 2 pending office actions currently active. These actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners. The data shows that there are 0 distinct art units recorded for these pending matters, indicating a unique or potentially unclassified status in the current data set. This lack of art unit classification suggests the matters may be in a transitional or specialized stage of review.
Michael Rutland Fin is the busiest examiner for this portfolio. He is currently overseeing 1 pending office action. This accounts for half of the 2 total pending office actions for the company. With 2 distinct examiners involved, the company is interacting with different individuals at the office simultaneously. This split indicates that even with a small number of actions, the company's prosecution is not consolidated under a single individual.
The 2 pending office actions represent the current workload for Shenzhen Carku Technology Co. Limited. Since Michael Rutland Fin is handling 1 of these, the other action is managed by the second of the 2 distinct examiners. This structure requires the company to manage two separate examiner relationships. The 0 distinct art units involved makes this a particularly focused yet divided prosecution landscape.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (50%) |
