China Shenhua Coal To Liquid And Chemical Shanghai Research Institute is managing 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This action is being reviewed by 1 distinct examiner, FORREST, MICHAEL, who is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. The case is assigned to 1 distinct art unit.
With only 1 examiner and 1 art unit involved, the prosecution environment is highly focused. The institute's current patent outcome relies on addressing the specific feedback provided by this 1 examiner. This centralized review process minimizes the administrative complexity of the institute's current filings.
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.
