3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Zivo Bioscience Inc. currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. This workload is distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating a broad spread of examination oversight for the portfolio. The alignment of these matters suggests that each case is receiving individual attention from a different official rather than being grouped under a single reviewer.
The busiest examiner for this company is BOECKELMAN, JACOB A, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the total volume is split equally among the 3 distinct examiners, no single official holds a majority of the current prosecution load. This lack of concentration across the 3 distinct art units may require diverse strategies for responding to the USPTO. Practitioners should note that the assigned examiners may have varying procedural preferences despite working within the same 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.
