Ch Biotech R&D Co. Ltd. manages 14 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are distributed among 12 distinct examiners, showing that the company interacts with a wide variety of personnel at the USPTO. This distribution helps mitigate the risk associated with any single examiner's specific interpretation of patent law.
The portfolio spans 8 distinct art units, indicating that the 14 pending office actions involve several different specialized technical fields. LANGEL, WAYNE A is the busiest examiner for the company, currently holding 2 pending office actions. This means that the vast majority of the 12 distinct examiners are only handling one case each for the company.
Because there are 12 distinct examiners for 14 pending office actions, the company's prosecution results are likely to be varied. The 8 distinct art units suggest a complex prosecution landscape that requires navigating multiple different supervisory chains within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals area. This level of diversity in art units and examiners requires a versatile approach to responding to office actions.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (6%) |
| §112 only | 5 (29%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 6 (35%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (24%) |
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.
