Powerflex Systems LLC has 4 pending office actions. These are in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area and are spread across 2 distinct art units. This indicates that the company's transportation-related innovations are being reviewed by more than one specialized group at the patent office.
The prosecution involves 4 distinct examiners. FOLASHADE ANDERSON is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. Each of the 4 examiners is currently managing one of the 4 pending actions for the company. This one-to-one ratio between examiners and pending actions suggests a decentralized prosecution environment. With 4 different examiners across 2 art units, the company must manage multiple individual perspectives to ensure successful outcomes. Practitioners should coordinate strategies across these 4 examiners to maintain consistency while addressing the specific requirements of each of the 2 art units involved.
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 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
