Beiersdorf AG has 22 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters are assigned to 21 examiners and 14 art units, combining broad examiner dispersion with repeated activity in some art units.
MEYERS, ELIZABETH ANNE handles 2 pending matters, the largest stated concentration for one examiner. Most of the docket therefore remains distributed across other assignments, limiting the usefulness of a single examiner-centered prosecution plan.
For counsel, the art-unit structure supports grouping related matters while maintaining separate examiner records. Response planning should account for the portfolio’s size, the repeated unit assignments, and the need to track distinct examination positions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 8 (36%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (18%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (45%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
