2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Nexgen Plant Science Center LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners. Both examiners are located within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests that the company's biotechnology innovations are being reviewed by a single specialized department. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit may provide a more consistent technical evaluation for the pending cases.
STANKOVIC, BRATISLAV is the busiest examiner for the portfolio. This examiner is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. The 2 pending actions are divided between the 2 distinct examiners. This means that while the company must manage 2 different examiner relationships, both examiners are subject to the same art unit policies. This balance of examiner variety and art unit focus is a central feature of their current prosecution. Practitioners should be prepared for 2 different examination styles within this 1 technical group. This structure allows for departmental consistency across both actions.
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 (50%) |
