Imperial College Innovations Ltd. currently manages 4 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These matters are assigned to 4 distinct art units, reflecting a variety of specialized biological or pharmaceutical disciplines.
The company interacts with distinct examiners for each of its pending cases. This distribution of the pending office actions across multiple individuals means that the company must adapt to various examination styles simultaneously. The busiest examiner, WRIGHT, ERIC BRANDON, is currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Because WRIGHT, ERIC BRANDON is responsible for 1 pending office action, the prosecution effort is spread evenly across the patent office staff.
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.
