Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
4 pending office actions • 3 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 5 patents granted in the last 365 days
Wi-Charge Ltd. maintains a patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The company is currently managing 4 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, which suggests that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual at the patent office.
The prosecution effort spans 3 distinct art units, indicating that the company's technology within Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics is being evaluated across several specialized groups. This distribution across 3 distinct art units may require a more varied legal strategy to address the different standards or practices of each unit.
The busiest examiner, AMARA, MOHAMED K, is currently handling 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since this examiner accounts for 1 of the 4 pending office actions, the workload is evenly spread across the 4 distinct examiners. This lack of concentration means that no single examiner's decision will disproportionately impact the company's overall pending portfolio at this time. Managing the current workload requires coordination to ensure consistency in technical arguments across the different examination groups.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
