Shenzhen Fenda Technology Co. Ltd. is currently managing 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, showing some technical breadth within the broader mechanical field. The company is interacting with 3 distinct examiners, meaning each of the 3 pending actions is being reviewed by a different individual at the USPTO.
ASQIRIBA, KARIM is identified as the busiest examiner, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. This specific action represents one-third of the total pending workload for the company. With 2 distinct art units involved, the prosecution strategy must account for the differing standards of two separate USPTO groups. The fact that 3 distinct examiners are involved suggests a lack of examiner-specific concentration, requiring the applicant to tailor their approach to three different perspectives.
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 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
