4 pending office actions • 4 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Suzhou Qi Biodesign Biotechnology Company Limited is currently managing 4 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are distributed across 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, indicating a broad and diversified prosecution strategy. This distribution suggests that the company's innovations are being reviewed by multiple specialized groups within the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is KINGDON, CATHY, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Given that there are 4 pending office actions in total, the workload is spread, with no single examiner handling more than 1 case. This lack of concentration requires the company to manage 4 separate examiner relationships and navigate the specific nuances of 4 different art units simultaneously.
The presence of 4 distinct art units for the 4 pending actions highlights a high degree of technical variety in the company's current filings. Practitioners must adapt their strategies to the diverse expectations of these different units. The data reflects a portfolio that is actively engaged across multiple fronts of the patent examination process under examiners like KINGDON, CATHY.
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.
