Seegene Inc. has 23 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters are distributed across 23 examiners and 16 art units. Each matter has a distinct examiner in the reported data, while the smaller number of art units indicates that several matters are grouped within some units.
HAYNES, DAWN TRINAH is the busiest examiner with 1 pending matter. There is no identified examiner concentration, so portfolio oversight should prioritize art-unit coordination and consistent treatment of recurring biotechnology issues.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 8 (36%) |
| §103 only | 6 (27%) |
| §112 only | 2 (9%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (18%) |
