Unesp Universidade Estadual Paulista "Julio De Mesquita Filho" (State University) is currently managing 1 pending office action in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. This action is being handled by 1 distinct examiner, VIGIL, TORIANA NICHOLE. As the busiest examiner for the university, she holds the 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This represents a very focused and singular prosecution effort.
The entire pending portfolio is located within 1 distinct art unit. For a practitioner, this means that the outcome of the university's current patent efforts is entirely dependent on the decisions made within this 1 distinct art unit and by this 1 distinct examiner. There is no diversity in the prosecution profile to mitigate the risk of a single examiner's perspective. With only 1 pending office action, the current workload is light, but the concentration of that workload means that every interaction with the 1 distinct examiner is critical for the university's intellectual property goals.
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.
