University of Wyoming has 10 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters involve 10 distinct examiners and 10 distinct art units. Each pending matter therefore has a separate examiner and art-unit assignment, indicating a widely distributed prosecution profile.
RUNYAN, SILVANA C is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The profile does not identify examiner concentration. Counsel should organize the portfolio around individual application issues and use consistent biotechnology claim principles only where the underlying subject matter supports them.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (10%) |
| §103 only | 3 (30%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (50%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
