Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Te Connectivity Austria GmbH manages 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, which shows that the company's active prosecution is split between different technical reviewers and administrative groups. This distribution suggests that the pending matters may involve different specialized aspects of semiconductor or optical technology, requiring a versatile approach to legal arguments.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is JIMENEZ, ANTHONY R, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. This examiner is responsible for a portion of the 2 pending office actions total for the company. The involvement of 2 distinct art units indicates that the company must navigate the specific examination practices of two separate divisions within the patent office for its current semiconductor-related filings. This requires the company to adapt its prosecution strategy to the different technical standards and procedural expectations of each examiner and their respective administrative units.
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.
