2a. Close to 30% of all patents filed or issued are continuations/divisions based on a parent patent (imgs 1-4). They are very common, including the 3 patents in the lawsuit, but GF again reframed them as anticompetitive.

2b. Patent infringement is determined by the parent patent’s filing date …

Overall, in fiscal year 2015, 20% of the filed applications were continuation applications. Divisionals comprised 6% of the data set, and continuation-in-part applications accounted for 3% of the applications. The remaining 72% lacked a priority claim to another non-provisional U.S. application.
