The Governing Council of the University of Toronto has 30 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters involve 30 distinct examiners across 29 distinct art units. JHAVERI, JAYESH M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The profile shows broad assignment with very limited grouping at the art-unit level.
Counsel should therefore prioritize matter-specific analysis of claim scope, disclosure support, and cited references. A centralized system can still identify recurring biotechnology or pharmaceutical issues, but the examiner and art-unit distribution limits the usefulness of a single prosecution template. The busiest examiner has one listed matter, so examiner-specific concentration is not a material organizing feature of this docket.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (7%) |
| §103 only | 4 (14%) |
| §102 only | 1 (3%) |
| §112 only | 2 (7%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 17 (59%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (3%) |
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.
