SAS Nanotechnologies Inc. has 1 pending office action in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. This matter is being handled by 1 distinct examiner in 1 distinct art unit. The focus on Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals indicates the specific domain of the company's current patent activity. With only 1 pending office action, the company's current engagement with the USPTO is limited in scope.
TRUONG, QUANGLONG N is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. As the only distinct examiner involved, TRUONG, QUANGLONG N is the sole arbiter of the 1 pending office action. This concentration within the art unit means that the prosecution strategy does not need to account for multiple examiner preferences. However, it also means the company's current success in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals area is tied to the decisions of TRUONG, QUANGLONG N and the standards of the 1 distinct art unit.
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.
