DASSAULT SYSTEMES has 4 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are evenly distributed among 4 distinct examiners. Furthermore, the workload is spread across 4 distinct art units, indicating that each pending matter is being handled in a different specialized section of the USPTO. This complete dispersion suggests that the company's software-related filings cover a broad range of technical sub-domains.
CHEN, YU is the busiest examiner, currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since there are 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, the workload is balanced with each examiner handling exactly 1 case. This lack of concentration across the 4 distinct art units suggests that practitioners will need to navigate 4 different examiner styles simultaneously. With 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units for only 4 cases, there is no overlap in personnel or organizational groups to leverage for prosecution efficiency across the 4 pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (75%) |
