Connaught Electronics Ltd. has 5 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The actions involve 4 examiners and 3 art units, reflecting both examiner diversity and some reuse of technical assignments.
PAPE, ZACHARY is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions. That examiner is the only listed examiner handling more than one action, so related response positions may warrant coordination. The other matters require separate review because their examiner assignments can affect the applicable prosecution approach.
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 | 2 (40%) |
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| §112 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
