Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats has 5 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals field. These matters are distributed across 5 distinct art units, showing the technical footprint at the patent office. The use of multiple distinct examiners ensures a range of perspectives during the examination process.
Constantina E Stavrou is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. This distribution means that no examiner or art unit is responsible for more than an individual file.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
