Danmarks Tekniske Universitet has 15 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The portfolio spans 14 distinct examiners and 11 distinct art units, indicating broad distribution with some examiner or assignment overlap. This pattern supports centralized monitoring of deadlines and recurring subject-matter issues, while requiring application-specific analysis.
SWIFT, CANDICE LEE is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Counsel can examine those related assignments for consistent treatment, but the wider examiner and art-unit spread calls for separate response planning across the remaining matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 | 1 (6%) |
| §103 only | 2 (12%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (69%) |
