WHIPgroup was successful in obtaining allowance of a case directed to a power system for controlling dynamic positioning of a ship. After receiving a Final Office Action, WHIPgroup submitted a P3 request and argued the claims were patentable over the cited references. The Panel was persuaded, withdrew the rejections, and identified allowable subject matter. Accordingly, the case was advanced to allowance without the need for an Appeal or RCE.
