2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
INANOBIO, INC. has 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and are both located within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests a specific technical focus for the company's current prosecution efforts. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit may allow for a more consistent prosecution strategy across the portfolio, as both examiners are likely part of the same technical division.
John A Bodnar is the busiest examiner for the company with 1 pending office action. The 2 pending office actions are split evenly between the 2 distinct examiners, resulting in a busiest examiner pending count of 1. This distribution shows that no single examiner handles a majority of the company's active matters. With 2 distinct examiners involved, the company must be prepared for two different individual perspectives within the same art unit. Practitioners should focus on the specific requirements of the 1 distinct art unit while addressing the unique feedback from each of the 2 distinct examiners to successfully resolve the 2 pending office actions.
