7 pending office actions • 6 art units • 6 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Cellartgen Inc. maintains a portfolio within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area featuring 6 pending office actions. These matters are distributed across 5 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's research and development efforts span several specialized sub-sectors within the broader life sciences field. This distribution requires the applicant to navigate diverse examination standards across multiple administrative divisions at the patent office.
The prosecution workload involves 5 distinct examiners, which introduces a variety of individual perspectives into the portfolio's overall trajectory. THUESON, HANNA MARIE is identified as the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling 2 pending office actions. This concentration makes this specific examiner a significant point of contact for the company's legal representatives.
With 6 pending office actions and only 5 distinct examiners, the portfolio exhibits a high degree of examiner diversity relative to its size. The presence of 5 distinct art units further confirms that the legal strategy must account for varied technical requirements. Practitioners should monitor the 2 pending actions under THUESON, HANNA MARIE to identify potential trends or efficiencies in how the office evaluates the company's biotechnology claims.
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 | 2 (29%) |
| §112 only | 1 (14%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
