Ampere S A S has 4 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. MCDIEUNEL MARC is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action.
The 4 pending office actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for one matter. This distribution indicates that no single examiner is managing multiple applications for the company. The 4 distinct art units suggest that the portfolio spans four different technical groups. MCDIEUNEL MARC is one of the four individuals managing the current workload in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area.
Because the 4 pending office actions are located in 4 distinct art units, the technical focus of the portfolio is highly divided. The prosecution team must manage relationships with 4 distinct examiners, including MCDIEUNEL MARC. Each of these 4 distinct examiners handles 1 pending office action. This arrangement requires a strategy that addresses the individual preferences of all four examiners while operating across four different art units. The 1 pending office action managed by MCDIEUNEL MARC represents one fourth of the company's active matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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.
