Barlaa B V is currently prosecuting 2 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These 2 pending office actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, meaning that each pending application is being reviewed by a different person. This distribution among 2 distinct examiners suggests that the company's current legal strategy must account for the individual styles of multiple examiners.
The workload is also split across 2 distinct art units. This distribution across 2 distinct art units indicates that the company's biotechnology and pharmaceutical innovations are being evaluated by 2 different specialized groups within the USPTO. LI, WENHAN is the busiest examiner for the company, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is evenly divided between the 2 distinct examiners and the 2 distinct art units. This distribution requires the company to manage its intellectual property across different technical and administrative boundaries.
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.
