1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. is currently managing a patent portfolio in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The data indicates there is 1 pending office action across the portfolio. This activity is localized within 1 distinct art unit, showing a concentrated effort in a specific regulatory environment.
The prosecution is overseen by a distinct examiner, named SHARMA, SANTOSH. This examiner is identified as the busiest examiner with a busiest examiner pending action. Since the pending office action is the only one active, the practitioner is dealing with a point of contact at the patent office. The distinct examiner and art unit suggest that the company's current prosecution is focused on a singular technical path. This lack of complexity in the examiner pool allows for a specific strategy tailored to the examiner involved in the case.
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.
