4 pending office actions • 3 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Etherna Immunotherapies NV is currently managing 4 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units, which suggests a broad technical range within their pharmaceutical and biotech filings. This variety in art units means the company's applications are being evaluated against 3 different sets of technical standards and examination guidelines.
The company's prosecution is handled by 4 distinct examiners, meaning each of the 4 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different individual. FALKOWITZ, ANNA R is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. This level of distribution, where no examiner handles more than 1 action, requires a versatile prosecution strategy to address the unique feedback and preferences of 4 different people. The combination of 3 distinct art units and 4 distinct examiners indicates a diverse prosecution landscape for Etherna Immunotherapies NV. Practitioners must be prepared to manage multiple simultaneous dialogues across different departments within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals sector, ensuring that each application is tailored to its specific examiner and art unit context.
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.
