Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg has 12 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The portfolio involves 10 examiners and 10 art units, showing broad distribution across examination assignments. That structure calls for centralized docket control paired with application-level substantive review.
BUTTICE, AUDREY L is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. This is the only examiner-level concentration identified in the profile, so counsel can monitor that relationship separately while preserving distinct strategies for the remaining matters. The spread across art units also supports tracking recurring technology and claim issues by unit rather than relying on a single portfolio-wide response template.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (25%) |
| §112 only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (58%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (8%) |
