3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 8 patents granted in the last 365 days
Noblis Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, meaning each pending matter is being reviewed by a different person. The workload spans 2 distinct art units, indicating some technical overlap despite the examiner variety. This presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's 3 pending office actions are concentrated within a narrow range of biotechnology classifications.
CHANNAVAJJALA, SRIRAMA T is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action, which reflects an even distribution of the 3 pending actions across the 3 distinct examiners. Because no single examiner handles more than 1 pending office action, the company must engage with 3 different individual perspectives during prosecution. The 3 pending office actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners, ensuring that the outcome of an application is less likely to be influenced by the specific tendencies of a single examiner.
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 (67%) |
