7 pending office actions • 7 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Bayer Cropscience LLC has 8 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters are distributed across 8 examiners and 8 art units, meaning each recorded action has its own examiner and art-unit setting.
HAGHIGHATIAN, MINA is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner carries more than that assignment, so the docket is not concentrated around one prosecution relationship. Counsel should coordinate portfolio-wide positions while preparing responses independently for each technical and examination context.
The one-to-one distribution makes deadline tracking and matter-specific prior-art analysis particularly important. A shared biotechnology strategy can guide claim scope and disclosure choices, but the profile does not indicate a common art-unit channel through which issues can be consolidated.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
