BAKEL S.R.L. currently has 5 pending office actions. These matters are located within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The 5 pending office actions show the current volume of the company's patent prosecution.
The portfolio is handled by 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This variety of 4 distinct art units suggests that the company's Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals filings span several specialized niches. With 4 distinct examiners involved, the applicant must manage different examiner preferences and procedural styles simultaneously.
LEE, EDMUND H is the busiest examiner for this portfolio and is responsible for 2 pending office actions. While LEE, EDMUND H handles 2 pending office actions, the remaining pending office actions are distributed among other officials. This distribution means that no individual examiner controls the 5 pending office actions alone, though LEE, EDMUND H has the highest individual workload for the 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.
