Commonwealth Scientific And Industrial Research Organisaton currently manages a focused patent portfolio within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The presence of 1 pending office action indicates a concentrated prosecution stage. This singular active matter suggests that the organization is maintaining a specific set of intellectual property assets rather than a broad filing strategy at this time.
The prosecution effort is characterized by centralization, as evidenced by the involvement of only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. Because there is 1 examiner for the 1 pending action, the entire active portfolio is subject to the scrutiny of a single individual. Such a structure limits the diversity of examiner perspectives but allows for a highly targeted response strategy within that specific administrative division.
BAHTA, MEDHANIT W serves as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because this examiner is responsible for the 1 pending action, the outcome of this matter is critical to the current success of the company's efforts in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals sector. Practitioners should focus on the specific preferences of this individual examiner to optimize their prosecution results.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (12%) |
| §103 only | 7 (41%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (29%) |
