The Institute Of Chemistry Chinese Academy Of Sciences focuses its patent portfolio on the Chemistry & Materials technology area. There is currently 1 pending office action. This prosecution is being handled by 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a concentrated effort in a specific technical field. This concentration indicates that the institute's intellectual property is being evaluated within a single specialized group at the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is FRASER, STEWART A. This examiner is managing 1 busiest examiner pending action, which is the only pending action for the institute. The alignment between the busiest examiner's workload and the 1 pending office action highlights a focused prosecution phase with no current diversification across different examiners. For practitioners, this means the examiner's interpretation of the prior art will be the factor in the success of the current prosecution efforts within the distinct art unit.
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.
