ELC Management LLC has 23 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters span 22 examiners and 18 art units, creating a broad examination footprint with some repeated unit assignments.
FRENCH, CORRELL T handles 2 pending matters, the largest stated examiner concentration. Most actions therefore require separate examiner analysis, even where art-unit grouping provides a basis for comparing related issues.
The portfolio benefits from structured docket management. Counsel can organize matters by art unit, identify recurring claim or prior-art concerns, and maintain distinct response plans for the many examiner assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (20%) |
| §103 only | 11 (44%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (32%) |
