Schneider Electric Buildings Americas Inc. is currently managing 4 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 4 actions are distributed across 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This distribution of actions to examiners and art units suggests a diverse range of technological inquiries that are not concentrated under a single office group. The presence of 4 distinct art units indicates that the company's pending matters span several different technical classifications.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is CAVALLARI, DANIEL, who is assigned 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because each of the 4 pending office actions is handled by a different examiner, the workload is spread evenly across the 4 distinct examiners. This requires the company to manage four separate prosecution tracks, each with its own examiner and art unit context. The lack of overlap among the 4 distinct examiners means that strategies must be tailored individually for each pending matter.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
