Progressive Therapeutics Inc. manages a patent portfolio in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The data shows 1 pending office action currently active for the company. This 1 pending office action suggests a streamlined prosecution process at this stage of the company's intellectual property development.
The portfolio's activity is limited to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. The busiest examiner identified is MELLER, MICHAEL V, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This concentration within 1 distinct art unit implies that the technical content of the pending application is specialized within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals field.
Because there is only 1 distinct examiner, the applicant can focus on a singular prosecution path. Practitioners do not have to worry about divergent examiner behaviors or conflicting requirements from multiple USPTO units. The entire weight of the company's current pending matters rests with MELLER, MICHAEL V, making this examiner's specific feedback the primary focus for the 1 pending office action.
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.
