Solar Foods Oyj maintains 4 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, indicating that each pending matter is currently being reviewed by a unique individual. Furthermore, the portfolio spans 4 distinct art units, which reflects a high degree of technical diversity in the company's active applications. This spread across different art units suggests that the company is pursuing multiple distinct innovations within the biotech and pharmaceutical sectors.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is GRASER, JENNIFER E, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Given that the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the workload is perfectly distributed across the 4 distinct examiners. For practitioners, this means that prosecution strategies must be customized for 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art unit environments simultaneously. The diversity of the 4 pending office actions provides a broader base for potential patent grants but also requires managing separate sets of examiner expectations and art unit precedents.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| §112 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
