Aleph Farms Ltd. is currently navigating 3 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These matters are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, meaning that every active action is under the review of a different individual. Despite this examiner diversity, the work is concentrated within 2 distinct art units, suggesting some technical overlap in the subject matter being prosecuted.
MASUDUR RAHMAN is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. This single action constitutes 1 of the total 3 pending office actions for the company. The fact that 3 distinct examiners are involved across only 2 distinct art units indicates that at least 1 art unit has multiple examiners assigned to the company's cases, which may require coordinating different examiner perspectives within the same technical group.
The focus on Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals is clear, with all 3 pending office actions falling under this technology area. For the practitioner, the presence of 2 distinct art units implies that the portfolio covers at least two specialized sub-sectors of biotechnology. Managing 3 distinct examiners requires a flexible approach to prosecution, as each examiner may have different interpretations of the standards within the 2 art units.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
