Analysis

GE Infrastructure Technology LLC has 26 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are assigned to 26 distinct examiners across 17 distinct art units, showing broad examiner distribution and repeated use of some art units.

ZAMORA ALVAREZ, ERIC J is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner concentration is shown by the available figures, so prosecution oversight should emphasize consistent claim strategy and issue tracking across many separate examiner relationships. The art-unit distribution remains narrower than the examiner distribution, making art-unit-level review useful for identifying recurring technical or procedural patterns.
