Chargelogic LLC is managing 4 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. All these pending actions are assigned to 1 examiner, NATHANIEL R PELTON. This creates a concentration of prosecution activity with the busiest examiner, meaning the outcomes for the company's current pending matters are dependent on the examination of this official. The busiest examiner is responsible for 4 pending actions.
The portfolio is currently contained within 1 distinct art unit and involves a distinct examiner. This indicates a focused filing strategy, where active matters fall under the same technical classification and the same examiner's jurisdiction. For a practitioner, this means that the prosecution history and examiner's preferences in a case will likely have a direct impact on other pending actions in the portfolio. The company's active patent strategy in this area is currently funneled through this point of contact.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (25%) |
