1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Crisp Curtis currently manages 1 pending office action in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. This active matter is assigned to a distinct examiner and is located within a distinct art unit. This indicates a very specific focus for the company's current patent activities. The busiest examiner for the portfolio is HOFFMAN, SUSAN COE, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action.
Because there is only 1 pending office action, the distinct examiner is the sole official currently reviewing the company's biotechnology applications. The presence of the distinct art unit further suggests that the technology is concentrated in a single specialized area of the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals sector. This streamlined prosecution environment means that the company's immediate goals are dependent on the feedback from HOFFMAN, SUSAN COE, allowing for a targeted and singular legal strategy.
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.
