Analysis

China Pharmaceutical University has 6 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. Each matter is assigned to a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit, creating a dispersed examination profile across the pending docket.

ANDERSON, REBECCA L is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because the matters do not cluster by examiner or unit, counsel should build a separate prosecution assessment for each application while maintaining consistent positions on shared technology.
