Jerry Tseng currently manages 1 pending office action in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, ensuring that the current prosecution dialogue is concentrated with a single individual. The portfolio is also restricted to 1 distinct art unit, which limits the procedural variations the company might encounter across different patent office divisions. This concentration suggests that the applicant is focusing intellectual property efforts on a specific technological domain.
The busiest examiner for this company is WARD, PAUL V, who is managing 1 pending office action. Because the total number of pending actions is 1, this examiner is responsible for the full scope of the current active prosecution. This singular focus allows the applicant to tailor their legal arguments specifically to the expectations of WARD, PAUL V. The alignment of 1 pending action with 1 art unit and 1 examiner creates a straightforward administrative path for the applicant. Practitioners should prioritize understanding the specific examination style of this examiner.
