DISCOVERY PURCHASER CORPORATION has 4 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These 4 actions are split among 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This one to one ratio indicates that each pending application is being treated as a unique technical and procedural matter by the USPTO.
GINA CHIEUN YU JUSTICE is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. Because each of the 4 actions is in a different art unit and with a different examiner, there is no overlap in the current pending set. Practitioners must develop 4 separate strategies to address the specific requirements of each examiner and art unit involved in these 4 pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
