Shanghai Ruiyu Biotech Co. Ltd. currently has 3 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that each pending matter is being handled by a different individual in a different organizational unit of the patent office.
DULANEY, KATHLEEN YUAN is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. The remaining volume of pending actions is handled by the other examiners, ensuring that no single examiner dominates the company's prosecution pipeline. With 3 pending office actions in total, the workload is spread across several individuals.
The involvement of 3 distinct art units suggests that the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals applications cover diverse technical subjects. Each of the pending office actions requires a unique response strategy tailored to the specific examiner and art unit. With 1 pending action per examiner, the company must manage several separate interactions to advance its portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (100%) |
