13 pending office actions • 7 art units • 13 examiners • 0 of 13 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 16 patents granted in the last 365 days
The Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University manages a patent portfolio with 13 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These are distributed among 13 distinct examiners. This indicates a range of active applications where each case is being reviewed by a different individual.
The pending actions are spread across 7 distinct art units, suggesting that the university's research covers several different specialized fields. The busiest examiner is PIZIALI, ANDREW T, who is currently responsible for 1 pending office action. The university must manage separate examiner relationships across 7 different art units to advance its current intellectual property.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 | 2 (15%) |
| §103 only | 3 (23%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (54%) |
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.
