TriCal Superior Forage, LLC is currently addressing 1 pending office action in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, Wayneshaobin Zhong, who is the busiest examiner with 1 pending matter. The portfolio's activity is confined to 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a highly specific area of interest for the company's current patent filings.
The presence of 1 pending office action under the review of 1 distinct examiner suggests a very focused prosecution effort. Because the technology is localized in 1 distinct art unit, the company is dealing with a specialized segment of the patent office. The outcome of this single matter is critical, as it represents the entirety of the company's current pending portfolio. Practitioners should focus on the specific examination patterns of Wayneshaobin Zhong to ensure that this sole pending application moves efficiently toward allowance.
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.
