4 pending office actions • 2 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Alastin Skincare, Inc. maintains a patent portfolio in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The company currently has 4 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This indicates that the company is working with several different examiners across a small number of specialized units.
ROSSI, JULIA ANNE LORRAIN is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since there are 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, each examiner is handling 1 action. The use of 2 distinct art units for 4 pending actions means that the workload is concentrated in specific administrative groups. This distribution requires the company to manage relationships across 4 different examiners while navigating the technical standards of 2 different art units in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical fields.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (75%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
