Flora Food Global Principal B V currently faces 6 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are spread across 4 distinct examiners, which implies that some examiners are handling multiple matters. Specifically, the busiest examiner, TRAN, LIEN THUY, is responsible for 3 pending actions. This concentration suggests that TRAN, LIEN THUY is a critical figure for the company's current prosecution success, as this examiner handles 3 of the 6 pending office actions.
The portfolio is active across 3 distinct art units. This diversity in art units, combined with the 4 distinct examiners, suggests a broader reach within the Chemistry & Materials sector than a more centralized portfolio. With 6 pending office actions distributed this way, the company must manage multiple simultaneous prosecution tracks. The presence of 4 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units indicates that multiple examiners are working within the same art unit, requiring the company to address different interpretive approaches even within the same regulatory group.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (33%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
