Shanghai Research Institute Of Petrochemical Technology Sinopec has 6 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 6 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units, showing separate examination channels across the active portfolio.
HAILEY, PATRICIA L is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Counsel should use matter-specific response planning and maintain separate tracking for the chemistry and materials assignments.
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%) |
| §112 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.
