Tayca Corporation currently has 3 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This suggests that while the company's work is concentrated in one technology area, it spans at least two different administrative groups at the patent office.
The busiest examiner, NGUYEN, KHANH TUAN, is responsible for 1 pending office action. This indicates an even distribution of the workload, as each of the 3 distinct examiners is handling exactly one of the 3 pending office actions. No single examiner has a dominant influence over the company's current prosecution pipeline.
The use of 2 distinct art units for the pending actions implies that at least one unit is reviewing multiple cases. Practitioners should monitor the examiners to identify any variations in how the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals standards are applied. The coordination of responses across 2 distinct art units is necessary to maintain consistency in the company's patent strategy.
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 | 2 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
