Taiwan Fu Hsing Industrial Co., Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. All 3 actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, showing a concentrated technical focus. The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners, meaning each pending matter is being reviewed by a different person.
AHMAD, FARIA F is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. This structure allows the company to receive multiple independent evaluations of its technology within a single specialized unit. Practitioners should focus on the specific guidelines of the technical group while tailoring arguments to the 3 distinct examiners.
The lack of examiner overlap means that success in one case may not necessarily predict the outcome of another. This focused yet distributed approach requires careful management of individual examiner preferences within the same technical group. The presence of 3 distinct examiners ensures a variety of 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 | 2 (67%) |
