Xizang Haisco Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is currently navigating 6 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. These actions are distributed across 6 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, showing a distribution where the 6 pending actions are split among 3 different technical groups. This arrangement indicates that while the company's pharmaceutical filings are concentrated enough to fall into 3 art units, the office has assigned a unique examiner to each of the 6 pending matters, resulting in the number of actions matching the number of examiners.
The busiest examiner, BRAUN, MADELINE E, is managing 1 pending office action. Given that there are 6 pending actions and 6 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed so that each examiner handles 1 pending action. For a practitioner, this means that prosecution strategy must be highly individualized for each of the 6 actions, as each examiner will bring a different perspective to the 3 art units involved in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area.
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.
