UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA AT LAFAYETTE has 3 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters involve 3 examiners and 3 art units, indicating fully separate examination assignments.
ROMERO, KRISTEN WANG is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Counsel should manage each matter independently and avoid assuming that one art-unit approach will transfer across the portfolio.
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.
