Triad National Security LLC maintains a patent portfolio within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The company currently has 3 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, meaning each pending matter is under the review of a different official. This lack of examiner overlap across the 3 pending office actions suggests that the company's prosecution strategy in this sector is currently decentralized.
The prosecution is further diversified across 3 distinct art units, matching the number of examiners and pending actions. The busiest examiner is KIM, YOUNG J, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because the total number of 3 pending office actions matches the 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, the workload is distributed with no 1 examiner or art unit handling more than 1 active matter. This ratio between pending office actions, examiners, and art units indicates a broad spread of the company's current technical claims across the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals examination landscape.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| §112 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
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.
