Bejo Zaden B V has 4 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are handled by 4 distinct examiners, meaning that every pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. The prosecution activity is concentrated within 2 distinct art units, which suggests the technical content remains within a relatively narrow field.
DEVEAU ROSEN, JASON is the busiest examiner, currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. This distribution shows that no single examiner is handling more than one of the 4 pending office actions for the company. The involvement of 4 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units suggests a variety of examiner perspectives even within a small number of pending matters. Practitioners must be prepared to navigate the specific preferences of four different examiners while operating within a limited number of technical classifications. The absence of any examiner overlap indicates that each application is being evaluated as an independent matter without a central point of contact in the examination corps. This decentralized approach at the examiner level is contrasted by the focus on only 2 distinct art units.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
