Nautilus Subsidiary Inc. has 10 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. Each matter is assigned to a different examiner, with 10 examiners represented across 7 art units. The docket therefore has broad examiner dispersion, while several matters share art-unit groupings. Portfolio management should emphasize consistent technical positions and careful tracking of individual examiner practice.
GREENE, CAROLYN LEE is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner has more than 1 assignment, so the primary management issue is coordination across the distributed docket rather than concentration with one examiner.
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 | 2 (22%) |
| §103 only | 2 (22%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (56%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
