4 pending office actions • 3 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
The Institute Of Genetics And Developmental Biology Chinese Academy Of Sciences maintains a patent portfolio in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area with 4 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, indicating a range of individual reviews for the institute's current applications. The prosecution activity is spread across 3 distinct art units, which shows that the institute's research and development efforts cover multiple specialized sub-fields within the biotechnology sector.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is RADOSAVLJEVIC, ALEKSANDAR, who is currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This represents 1 of the institute's total of 4 pending office actions, showing that the workload is distributed among the assigned examiners. This distribution means the institute is not reliant on a single examiner's decision-making process for its entire portfolio. For practitioners, this profile indicates a prosecution landscape where the institute is engaging with 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units simultaneously.
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 (25%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
