Shenzhen Futu Network Technology Co. Ltd. currently has 3 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 3 actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending matter is handled by a different individual. The prosecution is active across 3 distinct art units, which indicates that each of the company's pending applications is classified into a different specialized group.
The busiest examiner, RANKINS, WILLIAM E, is responsible for 1 pending office action. With a total of 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, the workload is evenly split, with each examiner managing one matter. The presence of 3 distinct art units suggests that the 3 pending office actions are subject to the specific standards of three different examination environments within the transportation and e-commerce sectors.
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.
