Centrillion Technology Holdings Corporation is currently managing 4 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These matters are distributed across 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, showing a high degree of administrative dispersion for the portfolio's active cases. This distribution indicates that each of the company's 4 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different individual in a separate section of the patent office, which can lead to diverse prosecution results and varying response requirements across the portfolio.
The busiest examiner, PRIEST, AARON A, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. With a total of 4 pending office actions, the workload is spread thin across the office, as each of the 4 distinct examiners is only handling a single pending matter for the company. This lack of concentration means that no single examiner or art unit has a dominant influence over the portfolio's current trajectory. Practitioners should be prepared to navigate 4 different examination styles simultaneously, as the data shows no overlap between the 4 distinct examiners or the 4 distinct art units assigned to these matters. The fact that the busiest examiner pending count is 1 while the total actions count is 4 underscores the decentralized nature of the company's current patent prosecution efforts.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
