China University Of Petroleum - Beijing currently has 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is being processed within 1 distinct art unit. This shows a singular focus for the university's current patent prosecution efforts in this technology sector.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is PIRO, NICHOLAS ANTHONY, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since the university only has 1 pending office action in total, this examiner manages the entire active docket. The interaction is limited to this 1 distinct examiner and the specific standards of the 1 distinct art unit where the action is located.
The presence of only 1 pending office action across the 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit indicates a very concentrated prosecution environment. There are no other active matters to compare or contrast within the university's Chemistry & Materials portfolio at this time. This allows practitioners to dedicate their attention to the specific feedback and examination patterns of PIRO, NICHOLAS ANTHONY.
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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
