Flexispot Inc. maintains a company patent portfolio with 2 pending office actions. These matters are located in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Both actions are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This focus on 1 art unit suggests a specific technical niche within the mechanical systems sector for the company's current filings.
The prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners for the 2 pending office actions. ROERSMA, ANDREW MARK is the busiest examiner, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. This means the 2 actions are split between 2 different examiners despite being in the same art unit. For practitioners, this indicates that while the technical classification is the same, the matters will be subject to the individual review styles of 2 different examiners. The concentration of 2 actions in 1 art unit with 2 examiners shows a high degree of independent scrutiny within a single technical group.
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.
