Flora Food Global Principal B V maintains a portfolio with 4 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, suggesting a moderate level of technical diversity in the pending applications. The involvement of 2 distinct art units indicates that the company's chemical and material innovations are being reviewed by different specialized groups within the office, which may lead to varying examination timelines for the 4 pending office actions.
Lien Thuy Tran is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, handling 2 pending office actions. These 2 actions represent 2 of the 4 pending office actions currently active for the company. The remaining actions are split among the other distinct examiners. This concentration of 2 busiest examiner pending actions with a single examiner suggests that Lien Thuy Tran is a primary point of contact for the company's current prosecution efforts in the Chemistry & Materials sector.
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.
