Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College has 15 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The portfolio spans 15 examiners and 14 art units, indicating exceptionally broad distribution across the supplied examination records.
PIZIALI, ANDREW T is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Since the pending matters are not concentrated with a repeat examiner, counsel should prioritize centralized docket governance, consistent disclosure review, and technical issue tracking across the 14 art units.
Examiner-specific preparation remains important because the data shows little opportunity to rely on a common examiner relationship.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 3 (19%) |
| §103 only | 4 (25%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (44%) |
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.
