Technology area: Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals
11 pending office actions • 2 art units • 9 examiners • 0 of 11 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 29 patents granted in the last 365 days
Nunhems B.V. is currently managing 11 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The portfolio shows technical concentration, as all 11 actions are situated within only 2 distinct art units. This suggests that the company's patent filings are clustered around specific biological innovations, leading to frequent interactions with a limited number of examination groups. Prosecution is handled by 9 distinct examiners, which is a high number given the focus on only 2 art units.
This count of 9 examiners is lower than the 11 pending office actions currently active in the portfolio. KEOGH, MATTHEW R is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending office actions under review. Since these 2 actions are part of a total of 11, the influence of any single examiner is moderate. The concentration in 2 art units means that the company's overall prosecution strategy likely benefits from an understanding of the specific policies within those two USPTO departments.
With 9 distinct examiners involved, the company still faces a variety of individual perspectives, but the narrow art unit focus provides a consistent structural environment. This combination of 11 pending office actions and 9 distinct examiners requires a coordinated effort to ensure consistency across the portfolio. The role of KEOGH, MATTHEW R as the busiest examiner involves 2 pending office actions, which is a smaller count than the 11 total pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 5 (45%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (36%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (9%) |
