2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Electronic Biosciences Inc. has 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. John Schuyler Mcguirk is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. This represents the company's current prosecution activity, with no other pending matters active at this time.
The focus on 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit for the 1 pending office action indicates a highly centralized prosecution effort. John Schuyler Mcguirk is the sole examiner currently assigned to the portfolio's pending work. With only 1 pending office action, the company's current engagement with the patent office is very narrow. This concentration in the Chemistry & Materials area ensures that all current prosecution activity is directed toward a single examiner and a single technical group.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
