VERADERMICS INCORPORATED is currently navigating 41 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. This concentration of 41 pending actions suggests a focused but intensive period of patent prosecution for the company. The high volume of actions relative to the number of examiners indicates a significant workload per individual assigned to these cases, which may impact the speed of the examination process.
The portfolio is being examined by only 5 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units. This is a notably high concentration, as the 41 pending office actions are funnelled through just 5 distinct examiners. Such a narrow distribution across 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's technology is highly specialized and falls under the jurisdiction of a very limited group of patent office specialists, making the understanding of these specific examiners' tendencies crucial.
HENLEY III, RAYMOND J is the busiest examiner, managing 37 busiest examiner pending actions. This means that HENLEY III, RAYMOND J is responsible for the vast majority of the 41 total pending office actions for the company. Practitioners should note that the outcome of this company's prosecution efforts is heavily dependent on the decisions and tendencies of this single examiner, who handles nearly all of the active matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 7 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 4 (10%) |
| §112 only | 2 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 5 (12%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 25 (61%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (12%) |
