7 pending office actions • 6 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 20 patents granted in the last 365 days
Sagemcom Energy & Telecom Sas has 7 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are assigned to 7 examiners across 6 art units, which indicates broad distribution among examination teams and limits the usefulness of a single examiner-specific strategy.
WOODWARD, NATHANIEL T is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The remaining matters are handled elsewhere, so counsel should organize prosecution by art unit and examiner while preserving consistent positions on shared technical disclosures and claim terminology.
The spread across examination groups makes portfolio-level coordination important. A common disclosure map can identify reusable distinctions over prior art, while each response can be adapted to the particular search record and objections. The data supports centralized oversight, but not an assumption that the matters will move through one uniform examination process.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (14%) |
| §112 only | 3 (43%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
