Progeneer Inc. has 2 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, so the portfolio requires separate tracking of examination positions.
NESTOR, DONNA MICHELLE is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should coordinate the response to that action while maintaining a separate strategy for the other examiner and art-unit assignment.
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 | 1 (50%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (50%) |
