1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Omnetics Connector Corporation is currently navigating the patent prosecution process with 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This active matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is being processed within 1 distinct art unit. The data shows that the company's current interactions with the USPTO are limited to this technical and administrative channel.
The busiest examiner for the company is BAILLARGEON, PAUL D, who is currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since this count is the same as the total number of pending office actions, this individual is responsible for the company's entire active workload at the patent office. The reliance on the assigned official means that the immediate patenting outcomes are subject to the specific scrutiny of this individual within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
For patent practitioners, the involvement of only the distinct art unit provides a specific environment for prosecution strategy. The presence of the assigned examiner means there is no current opportunity to compare examiner behaviors across different matters for this applicant. Success in the current cycle depends on addressing the concerns raised in the pending office action, as it represents the company's current footprint at the USPTO.
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.
