BOECKER, JOSEPH D is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The examiner figure is below the portfolio’s pending-action figure, so the identified activity is divided between examiners. A consistent device and mechanical claim strategy may be useful, but each response should address its assigned examiner’s record.
