Amyris Inc. has 7 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters involve 6 examiners across 5 art units, indicating some concentration at both the examiner and art-unit levels rather than a one-to-one distribution.
RAGHU, GANAPATHIRAM is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That examiner-specific concentration supports coordinated review of the affected applications, while the remaining matters require broader biotechnology and pharmaceutical docket management.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 (14%) |
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
