The Institute Of Crop Science Chinese Academy Of Agricultural Sciences has 1 pending office action in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. This prosecution is managed by a distinct examiner, focusing the current administrative attention on a particular application. The activity is confined to 1 distinct art unit, which dictates the specific technical standards applied to the pending matter.
PEEBLES, KATHERINE is identified as the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. Because the total count of pending office actions for the institute is limited, this examiner handles the full scope of the portfolio's current office action responses. The alignment of a particular examiner and art unit within the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals field suggests a very specific and narrow channel for the institute's current patenting efforts. This concentration requires the institute to be highly responsive to the specific feedback provided by the assigned official.
