Toyo Engineering Corporation has 3 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These filings are spread across 2 distinct art units, requiring the company to address different technical standards. The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners, meaning each of the 3 pending office actions is being reviewed by a unique individual.
MILLER, JONATHAN is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. Because there are 3 distinct examiners for the 3 pending office actions, the company must manage three separate sets of examiner feedback. The use of 2 distinct art units indicates that the biotechnology filings are somewhat concentrated but still require specialized technical responses for the 3 pending office actions.
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 (67%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (33%) |
