3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Genialis currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 3 pending office actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, but they are all contained within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while the company's innovations are technically similar enough to be grouped in 1 distinct art unit, they are being reviewed by three different individuals, which could lead to varying prosecution experiences within the same technical field.
The busiest examiner for Genialis is BANKS, KEONA LAUREN, who is currently overseeing 1 busiest examiner pending action. With 3 distinct examiners each handling an action, the workload is spread across the portfolio. No single examiner holds more influence than another over the company's current patent prospects. Success in the Chemistry & Materials area will depend on the independent outcomes of the 3 pending office actions. Practitioners must tailor their approach to the specific preferences of the 3 distinct examiners while navigating the consistent requirements of the 1 distinct art unit. This structure allows for a focused technical strategy but requires managing three unique examiner relationships.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
