Goodrich Lighting Systems GmbH & Co. Kg maintains a patent portfolio within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company currently faces 4 pending office actions distributed across 3 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the portfolio spans multiple specialized examination groups within the USPTO, requiring expertise across 3 distinct art units.
Prosecution is handled by 4 distinct examiners. Ashesh Dangol is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. The fact that there are 4 distinct examiners for 4 pending office actions suggests that no single examiner is currently overwhelmed by the company's active filings. With 4 distinct examiners involved, the company's active office actions are each receiving attention from a different official at the patent office.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
