Flexispot Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Each of these 3 actions is assigned to a different person, resulting in 3 distinct examiners for the portfolio. This distribution is mirrored at the administrative level, with the actions spread across 3 distinct art units. Such a high degree of fragmentation for a small portfolio means that each pending matter is being treated as a completely separate technical and administrative entity within the patent office, requiring independent prosecution strategies for each.
MILLER, BRETT A is the busiest examiner, currently handling 1 pending office action. Since there are 3 distinct examiners for 3 pending actions, no single examiner has a larger influence than the others. The presence of 3 distinct art units for only 3 actions indicates that each pending matter is being evaluated under a different set of technical standards. Practitioners must be prepared to develop 3 entirely independent prosecution strategies, as the lack of overlap between the 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units means that progress in one case is unlikely to provide any direct leverage or precedent for the other pending actions.
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 | 1 (33%) |
