The Boards Totals above are an accurate depiction of aggregate receipts and
production for the fiscal year. Because the Technology Centers have been in
existence less than a full year, the Technology Center statistics are
estimations. Technology Center 1900 has been abolished; accordingly, the
inventory for technology center 1900 has been aggregated with the inventory of
technology center 1700. Of the 8344 pending appeals, 1564 are currently assigned
to administrative patent judge dockets. With the exception of a limited number
of appeals involving special circumstances, the Board of Patent Appeals and
Interferences is currently deciding appeals received at the board as
follows:
CHEMICAL - Fiscal Year 1996
ELECTRICAL - Fiscal Year 1997
MECHANICAL - Fiscal Year 1998
DESIGN - Fiscal Year 1999
