Technology area: Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals
7 pending office actions • 4 art units • 6 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Ksq Therapeutics Inc. has 7 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are distributed across 6 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This indicates that an examiner is handling multiple pending actions for the company. The concentration of 7 actions among 4 art units suggests a focused technological scope within the broader biotechnology field, where multiple applications are grouped within the same technical divisions.
TIWARI, VYOMA SHUBHAM is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, managing 2 pending office actions. This examiner's responsibility for 2 actions means that their specific examination style will have a larger impact on the portfolio than the other distinct examiners. For the practitioner, this creates an opportunity to apply successful arguments from a case to another handled by the same examiner. The overall distribution across 6 examiners for 7 actions still maintains a level of diversity in the prosecution process.
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 | 2 (29%) |
| §112 only | 2 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
