Key stats of Intel’s patent prosecution at the USPTO:
Strangely, the grant index of intel is marginally less than the average grant index of its GAUs. This is unusual for a company like Intel that has successfully prosecuted more than 50000 patents.
Let’s see comparison between the average grant index of USPTO and Group Art Units of Intel’s interest.
Allowance rate of top 10 GAUs of Intel’s interest:
| GAU | Total Apps | Allowance Rate |
| 2183 | 1233 | 74.05% |
| 2611 | 979 | 87.45% |
| 2811 | 807 | 79.86% |
| 2181 | 758 | 82.36% |
| 2182 | 741 | 79.06% |
| 2116 | 740 | 85.36% |
| 2835 | 689 | 84.48% |
| 2185 | 684 | 85.57% |
| 2817 | 673 | 95.05% |
| 2618 | 665 | 82.75% |
3 out of the top 10 GAUs of Intel have an allowance rate which is less than the average grant index of Intel. Interestingly, all the 3 GAUs are in the top 5 GAUs where Intel files the most applications.
