UNIVERSIDAD DE SEVILLA has 4 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, creating a small but distributed prosecution docket.
CHO, DAVID H is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Coordinated review of those cases may help maintain consistent claim and disclosure positions, while the remaining matters require their own examiner- and art-unit-specific analysis.
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 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (50%) |
