Électricité de France maintains 7 pending office actions focused in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The workload is perfectly distributed among 7 distinct examiners, with each examiner handling exactly one matter. This one-to-one ratio between 7 pending office actions and 7 distinct examiners suggests that prosecution strategies must be tailored individually for every pending case.
The portfolio is spread across 7 distinct art units, matching the number of examiners. SUN, MICHAEL Y is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. This alignment across 7 art units and 7 examiners indicates a diverse array of chemical or material innovations requiring specialized oversight in each instance. The distribution of 7 pending office actions across so many units ensures that each matter is reviewed by a specialist in that specific technical field. This structure requires the company to maintain 7 independent prosecution tracks to advance its current chemical portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (14%) |
| §103 only | 3 (43%) |
| §112 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
