Flexa Inc. has 15 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The portfolio reaches 10 examiners across 6 art units, indicating that prosecution is spread across multiple technical and examination settings.
GETACHEW, WODAJO is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. That concentration is material but does not account for the full portfolio, so docket management should combine examiner-specific planning with art-unit-level tracking.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 5 (33%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (33%) |
| §103 only | 3 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (13%) |
