Additivestream4D GmbH has 1 pending office action within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This action is being processed by a distinct examiner in a distinct art unit, which creates a very focused prosecution environment. The applicant can direct all their legal and technical resources toward resolving the specific issues in this single matter.
The busiest examiner, LIANG, SHIBIN, handles the 1 pending office action. As the only examiner currently engaged with the company's pending applications, LIANG, SHIBIN'S interpretation of the prior art will be the primary driver of the prosecution's outcome. The absence of multiple examiners or art units simplifies the administrative burden but increases the importance of this single interaction.
The presence of a single art unit allows the company to focus on the specific examination trends and standards of that administrative group. Practitioners should prioritize a clear and persuasive response to the feedback from LIANG, SHIBIN to move the case toward allowance. This streamlined approach is an effective way to manage the sole pending action in the Chemistry & Materials field.
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.
