Augusta University Research Institute Inc. has 4 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The portfolio is spread across 4 distinct art units and 4 distinct examiners. ROBERT ANTHONY SKROBARCZYK III is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action.
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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
