Airbus Atlantic currently manages 3 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units, indicating that each matter falls into a different technical sub-category. The portfolio involves 3 distinct examiners, so each of the 3 pending office actions is being evaluated by a different individual.
The busiest examiner, LEE, EDMUND H, is responsible for 1 pending office action. This matches the workload of the other examiners, as the 3 pending office actions are spread evenly. Because there are 3 distinct art units and 3 distinct examiners, the company must manage three separate prosecution tracks within the Chemistry & Materials field. This decentralized arrangement requires a flexible approach to meet the specific technical and procedural requirements of each individual examiner and art unit involved in the current docket.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
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.
