2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Lyotropic Delivery Systems Ltd. manages 2 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners. Both matters are being examined within 1 distinct art unit.
Busiest examiner WELLES, COLMAN THOMAS is responsible for 1 pending office action. The single art unit suggests a focused technical scope for the company's current pending applications. Practitioners can benefit from this concentration by monitoring the specific trends and internal policies of that 1 art unit. Although there are 2 distinct examiners, the shared administrative unit may lead to more predictable outcomes than if the actions were split across different divisions. The workload of 2 pending office actions is currently distributed such that no single examiner has a dominant influence over the portfolio's progress.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
