Technology area: Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Aih Personal Care Pro LLC maintains a company patent portfolio within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. There are 2 pending office actions currently active for this portfolio. These actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners and are located in 2 distinct art units. This indicates that the company's current patent applications are being reviewed by different technical groups within the patent office.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is PRAGANI, RAJAN, who is handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because there are 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units involved, the practitioner must manage two separate prosecution tracks. The workload is not concentrated, as the busiest examiner is only responsible for 1 of the pending matters. This distribution requires a strategy that accounts for the different examination practices of each distinct examiner. The presence of 2 distinct art units also suggests that the pending applications may involve different specialized areas within biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.
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.
