Te Connectivity Sensors France holds a company patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio currently contains 2 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating that the company's current semiconductor filings are being reviewed in different specialized areas of the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for the company is HUANG, DAVID Z, who is handling 1 pending office action. Given that there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is split evenly between the 2 distinct examiners. The presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's current sensor and semiconductor filings cover different technical sub-fields. For a practitioner, this means managing two separate prosecution tracks, each with its own examiner and art unit standards, rather than a single consolidated effort. The involvement of 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units for only 2 pending actions highlights a lack of concentration in the company's current semiconductor prosecution.
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.
