Burgess Pigment Company has 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The prosecution is handled by 1 distinct examiner, ABU ALI, SHUANGYI, in a distinct art unit. ABU ALI, SHUANGYI is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending action currently assigned.
This represents a highly focused prosecution effort where all current activity is concentrated under one individual and one art unit. Practitioners should focus their strategy for the pending office action on the specific tendencies of ABU ALI, SHUANGYI. The presence of a single art unit suggests a specific technical focus within the Chemistry & Materials field. This centralized structure provides a clear path for the resolution of the 1 pending action. The alignment of the busiest examiner's workload with the total pending actions ensures a clear point of contact within the patent office. This concentration allows for a highly targeted approach to the pending office action. The lack of multiple examiners or art units minimizes the complexity of managing the company's current patent interests. By focusing on the individual review style of the assigned examiner, the company can better anticipate procedural hurdles.
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.
