Sinopec Dalian Research Institute Of Petroleum And Petrochemicals Co. Ltd. has 4 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The docket involves 4 distinct examiners but 3 distinct art units, indicating that examiner assignments are more dispersed than technical-unit assignments.
NGUYEN, TAM M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel can use the shared art-unit structure to compare technical framing, while preserving separate response strategies for the individual examiner records.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
