Chain Reaction Ltd. currently has 1 pending office action in the Computing & Software technology area. Prosecution is managed by 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. ALSIP, MICHAEL is the busiest examiner, overseeing 1 pending office action.
With 1 pending office action currently active, the company is focused on a specific set of claims within the Computing & Software sector. The involvement of 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit indicates a very concentrated prosecution effort. ALSIP, MICHAEL is the only examiner currently reviewing the company's patent applications, which allows for a direct and consistent dialogue. This lack of examiner variety means the company can focus its resources on meeting the specific requirements of this 1 pending office action. The outcome of this matter will be a key indicator for the company's success in this technology area.
Practitioners should note that the 1 distinct art unit involved will apply its specific technical standards to the application. Because ALSIP, MICHAEL is the sole examiner, the company's strategy should be closely aligned with his past examination history. The 1 pending office action is the only current hurdle in the company's active prosecution pipeline. This concentration in the Computing & Software area simplifies the management of the company's intellectual property.
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.
