UNIVERSIDAD DE GRANADA is currently pursuing patent protection within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The portfolio includes 1 pending office action, which represents the current focus of the institution's prosecution efforts. This activity level indicates a specific and targeted approach to intellectual property in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals sector.
The prosecution is managed through 1 distinct art unit and involves 1 distinct examiner. This concentration suggests that the university's current applications are being evaluated within a narrow technical framework. For practitioners, the involvement of 1 distinct examiner means that the prosecution strategy is not diversified across multiple office perspectives.
HINES, JANA A is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with a busiest examiner pending count of 1. This examiner is responsible for the 1 pending office action currently active. The success of the university's pending matters is therefore closely tied to the examination style and requirements of HINES, JANA A, who serves as the primary point of contact for these filings.
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.
