Ariel Scientific Innovations Ltd. has 12 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These 12 actions are assigned to 12 distinct examiners, creating a situation where each examiner handles a single action. The portfolio is spread across 8 distinct art units, showing technical variety within the biotech sector. The 8 distinct art units indicate that the company's pharmaceutical innovations are being reviewed by several different specialized groups, each with its own technical focus for the 12 pending office actions.
The busiest examiner is NGUYEN, SANG H, who is managing 1 pending office action. Since there are 12 distinct examiners for the 12 pending office actions, the workload is evenly split. For the practitioner, this means managing 12 separate examiner relationships simultaneously. The involvement of 8 distinct art units requires the prosecution team to adapt to the different technical standards and procedural nuances of each specific unit while handling the company's biotechnology and pharmaceutical applications. The workload of 1 pending office action for NGUYEN, SANG H is the standard for this company.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 only | 1 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (8%) |
| §103 only | 6 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (33%) |
