Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co., Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in the Communications field. These 3 actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. HARRIS, DOROTHY H is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Each case is being prosecuted independently with no examiner or art unit overlap, indicating that each pending matter is being reviewed in a unique technical and administrative environment.
The 3 distinct art units indicate that the company's communications innovations fall into different specialized classifications. With 3 distinct examiners, the company must manage three unique prosecution styles simultaneously. Because each examiner handles 1 pending office action, no single individual has more influence than another over the portfolio's progress. Practitioners should be prepared to tailor their arguments to the specific preferences of 3 different examiners rather than relying on a centralized strategy. Each of the 3 pending office actions must be treated as an independent effort, as there are no shared data points between them. This profile reflects a diverse and distributed prosecution landscape.
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.
