Rapid Micro Biosystems Inc. has 4 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed across 3 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's intellectual property is being reviewed by several different specialized groups within the patent office.
The company's prosecution involves 4 distinct examiners, meaning each of the 4 pending office actions is reviewed by a different individual. This distribution of work ensures that the portfolio is not overly dependent on the decisions of a single examiner, providing a range of feedback across the active applications.
SINGER, DAVID L is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 1 pending office action. Because this examiner is responsible for 1 out of the 4 total pending actions, the workload is spread across the distinct examiners involved in the company's active matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
