Prellis Biologics Inc. has 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The portfolio involves 1 distinct examiner, Jeffrey Michael Wollschlager, and 1 distinct art unit. Jeffrey Michael Wollschlager is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. With only 1 pending action, the company's current prosecution is entirely focused under this single examiner. This suggests a very specific area of technological interest for the company's current filings.
The involvement of 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit means that the 1 pending office action will be reviewed according to a consistent set of standards. Because Jeffrey Michael Wollschlager is the only examiner involved, his specific history and the practices of the 1 distinct art unit are critical for the company's strategy. This centralized structure in the Chemistry & Materials sector allows for a streamlined management process. Practitioners can focus their efforts on a single point of contact at the patent office to resolve the company's active matters.
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.
