This structure favors a coordinated docketing process with separate substantive review.

MCLEOD, AFRICA MHAIRIE is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner or art unit is shown as recurring, so counsel should avoid assuming that an amendment or argument effective in one matter will transfer directly to another.
