Onyx Lotus LLC maintains a portfolio in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area characterized by a distributed prosecution load. With 3 pending office actions currently active, the company is engaged in multiple simultaneous negotiations with the patent office. These matters are spread across 3 distinct examiners, indicating that the company's legal strategy must account for the varying perspectives of several different officials. The involvement of 3 distinct art units further demonstrates that the underlying technologies span multiple specialized classifications within the patent office's organizational structure.
The busiest examiner identified in the data is BROWE, DAVID, who is currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This specific figure shows that while BROWE, DAVID is the most active individual, they only manage a portion of the 3 pending office actions total. For a patent practitioner, this distribution suggests that no single examiner holds a majority of the portfolio's pending matters. The parity between the 3 pending office actions and the 3 distinct examiners highlights an equal distribution of active cases to individual reviewers, requiring a broad approach to examiner engagement across the 3 distinct art units involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
