LUDWIG-MAXIMILIANS-UNIVERSITÄT MÜNCHEN has 5 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters are distributed among 5 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, indicating separate examination paths across the active portfolio.
DENT, ALANA HARRIS is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Portfolio management should emphasize individual review of each action, with coordinated technical positions used only where the separate assignments support them.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| §112 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
