China Tobacco Sichuan Industrial Co. Ltd. maintains a patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The company currently has 1 pending office action. This single matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is located within 1 distinct art unit. This reflects a highly concentrated prosecution effort with a single point of contact at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is MARTIN, JOHN MITCHELL, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because this is the only pending action for the company, this examiner is currently the sole official reviewing the company's active applications. The presence of 1 distinct art unit indicates that the current prosecution is focused on a specific technical niche within the chemistry field. Practitioners should focus on the specific examination tendencies of this examiner and art unit to guide the application 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.
