UNIVERSAL BIO RESEARCH CO., LTD. has 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The busiest examiner for this portfolio is CARREON, ADRIAN JOHN, who is responsible for the 1 pending action. With only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the company's current prosecution efforts are centralized.
This organizational structure indicates that the company's current patent prosecution is focused on a single technical niche. Navigating only 1 distinct art unit allows the company to adapt to a specific set of examination standards and procedural norms. CARREON, ADRIAN JOHN serves as the sole point of contact for the current pending workload, which simplifies the communication channel between the applicant and the USPTO.
The absence of examiner diversity means that the outcome of the pending matter is tied to the individual perspective of a single official. In the Chemistry & Materials sector, such centralization can be advantageous for maintaining a consistent technical narrative. However, it also means that any specific requirements from the examiner will affect the entire active portfolio. Practitioners must ensure precise alignment with this examiner's interpretations to advance the case.
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.
