Shenzhen Futu Network Technology Co. Ltd. is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. This prosecution is handled by 2 distinct examiners working in 2 distinct art units. This distribution suggests a specific approach to the company's current patent applications. The variety of examiners and art units requires a strategy that accounts for different procedural standards at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is OBISESAN, AUGUSTINE KUNLE, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. As an examiner involved, OBISESAN, AUGUSTINE KUNLE serves as a point of contact for the applicant. For a patent practitioner, this environment requires managing relationships with the assigned personnel. The practitioner must tailor their responses to the expectations of the experts within the Computing & Software field. This structure involves administrative tracking of the 1 pending matter assigned to the busiest examiner while the total volume is 2 pending office actions.
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.
