Coty Inc. is currently managing 5 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This indicates that the company's prosecution is spread across multiple specialized divisions. The busiest examiner, Chang, Kyung Sook, is responsible for 2 pending office actions.
The remaining actions are divided among the other examiners. This structure shows an examination environment where the company addresses feedback from multiple officials across the 3 distinct art units. Managing the 5 pending office actions involves different departmental interpretations of biotechnology and pharmaceutical standards. The 2 pending office actions under Chang, Kyung Sook represent the largest examiner assignment in the current portfolio. Practitioners should prepare for diverse feedback from the 4 distinct examiners involved in these multiple administrative sources.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.

|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
