Natura Cosméticos S A has 6 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters involve 6 examiners across 3 art units. FIEBIG, RUSSELL G is the busiest identified examiner, with 1 pending action.
The examiner count matches the number of pending actions, while the smaller art-unit count shows that multiple matters are grouped within the same technical organizations. Portfolio management should coordinate unit-level patterns without assuming that examiner treatment is uniform.
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%) |
