7 pending office actions • 6 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Evolved By Nature Inc. is managing 7 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These 7 actions are assigned to 7 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for a single case. The portfolio is spread across 6 distinct art units, indicating a broad technical range within the biotech sector for a portfolio of this size.
PAK, MICHAEL D is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. The distribution of 7 pending actions across so many distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units suggests a highly decentralized prosecution strategy. This requires the company to navigate the specific expectations of many different examiners and administrative units simultaneously, reflecting the diverse nature of their pharmaceutical innovations.
With so many distinct examiners and art units involved, the company faces a variety of perspectives on its intellectual property. This lack of concentration means that the company cannot rely on a single relationship or art unit's standards. Instead, they must address the unique technical and procedural requirements of several different specialized groups at the USPTO, ensuring that each pending action is handled according to the specific tendencies of its assigned examiner.
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.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting + other | 6 (86%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (14%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
