Sinopec Research Institute Of Petroleum Processing Co. Ltd. has 4 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. These matters involve 4 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units, showing examiner-level dispersion with some concentration at the art-unit level.
MCCRACKEN, DANIEL is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The active docket therefore does not identify a dominant examiner, and counsel should compare issues across the three art-unit assignments while maintaining separate response plans.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 (25%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
