GSI Technology Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners, showing some concentration within the personnel reviewing the company's applications. For a practitioner, this means that the company can potentially leverage a more consistent prosecution strategy, as one examiner is handling multiple cases. The 3 pending office actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating that the company's filings are focused within a few specialized technical groups at the USPTO.
ZARRINEH, SHAHRIAR is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, overseeing 2 pending office actions. This indicates that 2 of the 3 total pending actions are being managed by a single examiner. This concentration within 2 distinct art units allows for a more targeted approach to prosecution, as the practitioner can focus on the specific standards and tendencies of a smaller group of examiners. Practitioners should prioritize understanding the historical rulings of ZARRINEH, SHAHRIAR, as this examiner's decisions will have a significant impact on the overall success of the company's current patent portfolio.
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.
