Sanofi Pasteur has 2 pending office actions currently active in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners and are situated within 2 distinct art units. This indicates that the company's pending intellectual property matters are being reviewed by multiple specialists across different sections of the patent office.
The busiest examiner identified is ROZOF, TIMOTHY R, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This represents 1 of the 2 total pending actions for the company. Since there are 2 distinct examiners for the 2 actions, each examiner is overseeing exactly 1 matter, which distributes the prosecution risk across different individuals.
A practitioner managing this portfolio must account for the specific requirements of 2 distinct art units. Because ROZOF, TIMOTHY R and the second examiner each manage 1 pending office action, the company cannot rely on a single prosecution strategy. Instead, the 2 pending actions require individual attention to the specific feedback provided by each of the 2 distinct examiners in their respective units.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
