Ph6 Ltd. operates a patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The portfolio presently has 1 pending office action, which represents the entirety of its active prosecution before the office. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and a distinct art unit. This singular focus suggests that the company is currently prioritizing a specific technical advancement within the medical device sector.
The busiest examiner for Ph6 Ltd. is MOON, MATTHEW RYAN, who is overseeing the busiest examiner pending office action. This point of contact within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector means that the company's current patent strategy is dependent on the interactions with this specific examiner and art unit. Practitioners should note that the resolution of the pending office action is the critical path for the portfolio's development. The lack of additional pending actions or examiners indicates a lean prosecution phase where each office interaction carries significant weight for the company's intellectual property goals.
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.
