Oxford Nanpore Technologies PLC manages a portfolio with 1 pending office action focused in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. This 1 action represents the entirety of the company's active prosecution workload. The focus on Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals indicates the specific technical domain where the company is currently seeking patent protection.
The prosecution is handled by 1 distinct examiner located in 1 distinct art unit. This creates a focused interaction between the company and the patent office, as all pending matters are consolidated under one examiner. There is no distribution of examiners or art units for the current pending workload, meaning the outcome of the portfolio's active phase depends on a single administrative path.
GUSSOW, ANNE is the busiest examiner for this portfolio with 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because there is only 1 pending office action in total, this examiner is responsible for the current workload. Practitioners working on this portfolio deal exclusively with GUSSOW, ANNE for all matters currently awaiting a response from the office.
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.
