Compagnie Générale des Établissements Michelin has 50 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 35 examiners across 27 art units, indicating meaningful distribution with repeated assignments at both levels. Portfolio management should combine centralized controls with technical-unit coordination.
FISCHER, JUSTIN R is the busiest examiner, with 10 pending actions. This examiner is the clearest concentration point in the supplied docket and warrants focused review of shared prosecution issues. The remaining matters still require coordinated handling across the broader examiner and art-unit structure.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (2%) |
| §103 only | 25 (51%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 2 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 17 (35%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
