BULLOCK, JOSHUA is the busiest examiner identified in the data, with the busiest examiner pending office action under his review. Since there is only a pending action total, BULLOCK, JOSHUA is the sole official currently evaluating the company's active applications. This concentration allows for a strategy where the outcome of the pending portfolio rests on an examiner's determination. The presence of a distinct art unit suggests that the company's current legal activity is not fragmented across different technical divisions. Practitioners can focus their efforts on the specific guidelines associated with this particular examiner and art unit combination.
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.
