Public University Corporation Nagoya City University is currently managing 3 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, which indicates that each case is receiving an independent review. BUCHANAN, BAILEY CHEYENNE is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, though she is currently responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action.
The administrative data shows that the company's prosecution is occurring within 2 distinct art units. This suggests that the technical subject matter is concentrated within a specific range of biotechnology classifications. For a practitioner, the use of 2 distinct art units means that the prosecution strategy must account for the specific standards of these 2 different divisions. The 3 pending office actions represent the total active pipeline for the company.
Because BUCHANAN, BAILEY CHEYENNE handles 1 busiest examiner pending office action, the workload is distributed among the available officials. The involvement of 3 distinct examiners ensures that the portfolio's outcomes are not dependent on the tendencies of this individual alone. Practitioners should monitor the feedback from each examiner to identify any common themes that may arise across the 3 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals sector.
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.
