Analysis

Onkyo Corporation has 2 pending office actions in Communications. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, so the small docket is divided across both examiner and organizational assignments.

MCKINNEY, ANGELICA M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The assignment does not indicate concentration in one examiner. Counsel should prepare matter-specific responses and account for the separate art-unit contexts when evaluating prosecution strategy.
