Shanghai Institute Of Ceramics Chinese Academy Of Sciences is currently managing 4 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed across 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution shows that each of the 4 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different examiner, providing a variety of perspectives on the institute's technical disclosures. The presence of 4 pending office actions indicates an ongoing series of innovations being processed through the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the institute is NOAH S WIESE, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are 4 distinct examiners for 4 actions, each examiner is currently reviewing a single application. The involvement of 3 distinct art units suggests that the portfolio covers several specialized sub-fields within chemistry and materials. This spread across 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units requires a prosecution approach that is tailored to the specific nuances of each examiner's review style while maintaining consistency across the institute's materials science portfolio. Practitioners should be prepared to handle 4 distinct examiners who may have differing interpretations of the 3 distinct art units involved.
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.
