Shen Zhen Biorocks Biotechnology Company Limited currently maintains 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are handled by 2 distinct examiners, indicating that the company's active applications are being reviewed independently rather than by a single individual. This spread can lead to different prosecution timelines for each application.
The portfolio's activity is divided among 2 distinct art units. YOH, JULIUS FRANCIS is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 busiest examiner pending action.
