Phibro Animal Health Corporation manages a company patent portfolio within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. Currently, the portfolio has 1 pending office action, which is being handled by 1 distinct examiner. This reflects a very specific and centralized prosecution effort for the company's current applications.
The prosecution is occurring within 1 distinct art unit, consistent with the 1 distinct examiner assigned to the portfolio. PREETI KUMAR is identified as the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because the total number of pending office actions is 1, this examiner is responsible for all active technical reviews.
Practitioners should note that the outcome of the current pending matter rests entirely with PREETI KUMAR. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the technical subject matter is specialized and not currently spread across different examination groups. This structure simplifies the tracking of the portfolio, as there is only 1 pending office action to monitor within the Chemistry & Materials sector.
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.
