SAMYANG Corporation currently has 9 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These matters are distributed across 9 distinct examiners and 7 distinct art units. SUBBALAKSHMI PRAKASH is the busiest examiner for the corporation, currently managing 1 pending office action.
The presence of the pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals indicates a significant and active interest in this field. The distribution across distinct examiners means that every pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual, providing a wide range of examiner perspectives. Furthermore, the involvement of 7 distinct art units suggests that the corporation's filings are technically diverse, spanning multiple specialized areas within biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.
With SUBBALAKSHMI PRAKASH handling 1 pending office action, the workload is perfectly distributed among the examiners. This lack of concentration means that no single examiner's decisions will disproportionately affect the entire portfolio. Practitioners must navigate the distinct art units, each with its own nuances, while managing separate examiner relationships. This decentralized prosecution profile requires a broad strategy to address the various requirements of the 9 distinct examiners involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 3 (30%) |
| §102 only | 1 (10%) |
| §112 only | 2 (20%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (30%) |
