5 pending office actions • 2 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Institute Of Genetics And Developmental Biology Chinese Academy Of Sciences has 5 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are handled by 5 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This indicates that every pending case is assigned to a unique individual, though they are clustered in very few specialized groups.
STOCKDALE, JESSICA NICOLE is the busiest examiner for this institution, holding 1 pending office action. With 5 pending office actions and 5 distinct examiners, no single examiner handles more than one case. However, the 5 pending office actions are concentrated in only 2 distinct art units. This suggests that while the examiners are all different, they work within a very small number of specialized groups. Practitioners should be prepared for 5 unique examiner perspectives, but the 2 distinct art units may mean that the examiners share similar technical backgrounds or follow consistent art unit policies across the 5 pending office actions. This combination of 5 distinct examiners and only 2 distinct art units creates a unique environment where personnel are diverse but technical oversight is concentrated.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
