Jiangsu Academy Of Agricultural Sciences currently has 2 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. Both of these matters are assigned to 1 distinct examiner, WILLIAMS, KEITH RICHARD. This individual is also the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 2 pending office actions currently under their supervision.
The entire active portfolio is contained within 1 distinct art unit. This concentration of the pending workload under a single examiner and within a single art unit suggests a very unified prosecution path. The company can expect a high degree of consistency in the feedback and requirements issued for its pending applications.
Having WILLIAMS, KEITH RICHARD manage the active matters allows for a streamlined communication process. Practitioners can focus on the specific examination style and technical interpretations favored by this single examiner. This structure reduces the complexity often associated with managing multiple active cases across different departments.
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.
