Wiab Water Innovation AB currently has 6 pending office actions in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are distributed among 6 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. The busiest examiner, NGUYEN, HUY TRAM, is responsible for 1 pending office action.
This indicates that each of the 6 pending office actions is being handled by a different examiner. With 6 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, the portfolio shows a high degree of examiner variety. Practitioners must manage 6 different examiner relationships to address the 6 pending office actions currently active.
The use of 5 distinct art units for 6 pending office actions suggests that some applications are being reviewed within the same technical clusters. Because NGUYEN, HUY TRAM only manages 1 pending office action, the workload is perfectly distributed. This variety requires a flexible prosecution approach to accommodate the distinct procedural tendencies of 6 different examiners across the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals sector.
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 (17%) |
| §103 only | 2 (33%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (17%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
