3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Te Connectivity Belgium BV has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are handled by 3 distinct examiners but are all located within 1 distinct art unit.
KRATT, JUSTIN M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. The concentration in a single art unit suggests that while different examiners are involved, the technical subject matter is closely related.
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.
