Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences has 5 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 4 distinct examiners and the same number of distinct art units. This distribution shows that the portfolio's pending matters are spread widely across different personnel and departments within the patent office.
SVEIVEN, MICHAEL CAMERON is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 2 pending office actions. This means SVEIVEN, MICHAEL CAMERON is responsible for 2 of the 5 total pending actions. The remaining actions are each handled by one of the other distinct examiners. This level of distribution across the 4 distinct examiners and the distinct art units suggests a diverse range of subject matter within the Chemistry & Materials field.
With the total pending office actions involving the distinct art units, the prosecution strategy must account for the varying standards and practices of multiple departments. The fact that the distinct examiners are involved in the total actions indicates that there is very little overlap in the individuals reviewing the company's applications. Practitioners should be prepared for a variety of examination styles across these pending matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
