Pro Farm Group Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These 3 actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners, which indicates that each pending application is being reviewed by a different person. This spread across 3 examiners helps to ensure that the company's prosecution results are not overly influenced by any single examiner's habits.
The portfolio is also active in 3 distinct art units, which corresponds to the number of pending actions and examiners. This means that each of the 3 pending office actions is being handled by a different technical group within the patent office. Such a distribution requires the company to manage its biotechnology filings across 3 different sets of technical and procedural standards.
The busiest examiner for the company is MAYHEW, BRADLEY SCOTT, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This 1 action is part of the 3 total pending office actions, showing that the workload is evenly divided. The presence of 3 distinct examiners in 3 distinct art units for 3 actions reflects a decentralized prosecution strategy where each case is being evaluated in its own unique context.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
