Clermont Auvergne Inp has 1 pending office action within the Communications technology area. This matter is being processed through a distinct art unit, indicating a focused technical review for the company's current USPTO activity. The company's immediate patent goals are concentrated in this particular technical area and administrative unit rather than being spread across multiple departments.
The prosecution involves a distinct examiner, HAUSMANN, MICHELLE M, who is responsible for the 1 busiest examiner pending action. With only 1 pending office action, the company's immediate patent strategy depends entirely on the interactions with this specific examiner. Because HAUSMANN, MICHELLE M is the only examiner involved, the company can focus its efforts on addressing the specific concerns raised by this individual without the need to manage multiple pending office actions. The success of the Communications portfolio currently rests on the resolution of this single matter.
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.
