Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited is currently managing 4 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, meaning each pending matter is being reviewed by a different person. Furthermore, the prosecution is split across 2 distinct art units, suggesting a relatively focused technical range within the company's chemical and material science filings.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is CORALLO, CATRIONA MARY, who handles 1 pending office action. With a total of 4 pending office actions, the workload is perfectly distributed, and no single examiner has a dominant role in the current prosecution. This requires the applicant to manage separate examiner relationships while navigating the procedural nuances of 2 distinct art units. The focus on Chemistry & Materials ensures that the technical scope remains within a defined field of expertise.
Managing the active office actions across multiple examiners requires a coordinated effort to maintain consistency. Since CORALLO, CATRIONA MARY and the other examiners are working within only a limited number of art units, there may be some overlap in the technical standards applied to the cases. Practitioners should look for commonalities in the feedback from the art units to streamline their responses. This structure allows for a relatively focused approach to the company's intellectual property goals in the chemical sector.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
