Goertek Electronics Inc. has a patent portfolio currently active in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company is managing 1 pending office action, which represents the total volume of its current prosecution activity. This matter is being handled by 1 distinct examiner and is located within 1 distinct art unit. Such a focused profile suggests a singular point of engagement with the patent office at this time.
The busiest examiner assigned to the portfolio is RATCLIFFE, LUKE D, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there is 1 pending action in the entire portfolio, this examiner holds the entirety of the company's active examination workload. Practitioners should note that the prosecution success for this portfolio currently rests on the interactions within this single art unit. The lack of multiple pending actions or examiners indicates a very specific phase of filing activity in this particular technology sector.
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.
