Analysis

DASSAULT SYSTEMES has 10 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The docket spans 9 examiners and 7 art units, indicating broad distribution across examination personnel and technical groups.

HANN, JAY B is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Most matters therefore sit outside that examiner’s assignment, limiting the value of a single-examiner prosecution playbook. Portfolio management should emphasize consistent software claim themes while adapting responses to the distinct art-unit and examiner contexts.
