10 pending office actions • 6 art units • 9 examiners • 0 of 10 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 8 patents granted in the last 365 days
L V M H Recherche maintains a portfolio in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area with 10 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 9 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units, showing diversity in both the individuals reviewing the applications and the technical groups involved. This breadth suggests a wide-ranging research and development focus within the biotechnology sector for the company's current filings.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is PROSSER, ALISSA J, who is currently managing 2 pending office actions. With 9 distinct examiners involved in total, the workload is decentralized, as many examiners are only handling a single matter. This distribution requires a flexible prosecution strategy that can account for the varying styles and requirements of many different examiners simultaneously across the 10 pending actions.
The presence of 6 distinct art units indicates that the 10 pending office actions cover a variety of technical sub-fields. While PROSSER, ALISSA J has the highest individual count with 2 pending actions, the overall portfolio is not dominated by any single examiner. Practitioners must manage a complex administrative landscape to ensure consistency across the 6 different art units currently reviewing the company's innovations. Success depends on addressing the unique feedback from each of the 9 distinct examiners.
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 | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (90%) |
