Reckitt Benckiser Health Limited maintains a presence in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area, currently managing 10 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 9 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the company's patent strategy involves various specialized sub-fields within the biotechnology domain. The variety of art units involved implies that the company is pursuing applications of its core health technologies in different technical areas.
The prosecution workload involves 9 distinct examiners. ASDJODI, MOHAMMADREZA is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 2 pending office actions. Practitioners must account for the interpretations and practices of 9 different examiners to ensure consistency across the portfolio. This level of examiner diversity necessitates a coordinated approach to claim construction across the various pending matters to maintain a unified intellectual property position.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 | 6 (60%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (30%) |
