Teledyne Flir Defense Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that no single individual handles the entire pending workload. OMETZ, RACHEL ANNE is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action.
Despite having 2 distinct examiners, the portfolio is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while different individuals are reviewing the applications, they are likely operating under the same supervisory and departmental guidelines. The 2 pending office actions represent the current focus for the company's optics and circuits intellectual property.
For practitioners, the alignment of 2 pending office actions with 1 distinct art unit simplifies the technical landscape. Although 2 distinct examiners are involved, the shared art unit suggests a consistent set of prior art and examination standards. Effectively managing the 2 pending office actions requires understanding the nuances of 1 distinct art unit while addressing the specific feedback from OMETZ, RACHEL ANNE and the other examiner.
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.
