Conopco, Inc. d/b/a Unilever has 94 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The portfolio spans 69 distinct examiners and 26 distinct art units, combining substantial prosecution volume with broad examiner coverage and repeated art-unit assignments.
PAUL, SHREYA is the busiest examiner, with 7 pending matters. The distribution supports centralized portfolio governance for recurring biotechnology and pharmaceutical issues, including disclosure support, prior-art positions, and amendment practice. At the same time, the number of examiners and art units makes local prosecution analysis essential, since a single response approach may not transfer uniformly across the portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 27 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. 27 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 only | 1 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (3%) |
| §103 only | 37 (40%) |
| §112 only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 11 (12%) |
