Western New England University is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are spread across 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the university's intellectual property covers diverse technical niches relative to the 2 pending office actions. This distribution requires the university to navigate different administrative groups at the patent office.
The prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending matter is reviewed by a different official. The busiest examiner for the portfolio is SHAMEEM, GOLAM M, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action relative to the 2 pending office actions. This indicates that the 2 pending office actions are divided, with SHAMEEM, GOLAM M handling 1 busiest examiner pending action and another distinct examiner handling the other.
For practitioners, the fact that 2 pending office actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners in 2 distinct art units means there is no overlap in the current review process. Each application in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals area must be prosecuted independently, as the feedback from SHAMEEM, GOLAM M will only apply to the 1 busiest examiner pending action under their direct supervision.
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.
