Modoral Brands Inc. currently has 1 pending office action within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. Prosecution is localized, involving a distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This concentration suggests that the company's active patent filings are currently undergoing a very specific review process.
PALENIK, JEFFREY T is the busiest examiner, with the pending office action under their review. As the portfolio only contains the pending office action, this examiner is responsible for all current activity. The presence of 1 distinct art unit indicates that the examination is confined to a technical division at the patent office.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
