Shenzhen Zolon Technology Co. Ltd. is managing 2 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These 2 pending office actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that each matter receives an independent review. Furthermore, the actions are located in 2 distinct art units, which indicates that the company's communications technology is being evaluated across different specialized groups. This distribution ensures that the progress of one application does not directly affect the other through examiner familiarity.
TOPGYAL, GELEK W is the busiest examiner, though he is responsible for only 1 pending office action. This means the workload is evenly distributed between the 2 distinct examiners. Because the 2 pending office actions are in 2 distinct art units, the company must be prepared for different technical standards and examiner styles in each case. This distribution requires a flexible approach to prosecution across the 2 distinct art units. Practitioners should tailor their arguments to the specific requirements of each of the 2 distinct art units to successfully resolve the 2 pending office actions.
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.
