BIOPRO SCIENTIFIC CO., LTD. is currently prosecuting 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the portfolio's current activity is split between different technical or administrative groups within the office.
The busiest examiner, TRAN, LARA LINH, is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is divided between two examiners. This split across 2 distinct examiners requires the practitioner to adapt to two different sets of examiner expectations and timelines. Each of the 2 pending office actions requires a tailored response that addresses the specific rejections or requirements raised by the respective examiner.
With 2 distinct art units involved, the 2 pending office actions may be subject to different internal policies or examination speeds. Practitioners must carefully manage the 1 action assigned to TRAN, LARA LINH while also addressing the other pending matter. The involvement of 2 distinct examiners ensures that the portfolio's progress is not dependent on a single person's docket. This spread across 2 distinct art units requires a coordinated effort to maintain a cohesive prosecution strategy.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
