Guangdong Aglaia Optoelectronic Materials Co. Ltd. has 6 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These 6 actions are distributed among 6 distinct examiners, meaning every pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. These actions are further organized into 3 distinct art units, suggesting that the examiners are grouped into separate supervisory environments within the USPTO.
The busiest examiner, OTTON, ALICIA L, is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the busiest examiner handles only 1 of the total pending actions, the portfolio shows no examiner concentration. This requires the company to manage 6 distinct examiner relationships. However, the 3 distinct art units indicate that the pending matters are likely related to specific technical sub-fields, which may allow for some consistency in prosecution strategy within each unit. The current workload represents a set of reviews across the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors handled by the assigned staff.
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 (17%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| §112 only | 2 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
