LG Household & Health Care Ltd. maintains 11 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These 11 actions are distributed among 11 distinct examiners and 11 distinct art units. RACHAEL SOJIN STONE is identified as the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending action. The presence of 11 pending actions indicates a significant and ongoing commitment to their biotech portfolio.
The matching number of 11 actions, 11 examiners, and 11 art units suggests a completely decentralized prosecution profile. Each of the 11 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different examiner in a different specialized group. RACHAEL SOJIN STONE's 1 pending action is just one of many unique cases that require individual attention. This total lack of overlap across 11 art units highlights the extreme technical diversity of the company's current filings within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (20%) |
| §103 only | 4 (40%) |
| §112 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (30%) |
