SMITH, CHAIM A is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That assignment creates the clearest opportunity for examiner-specific coordination, while the other matters remain distributed across separate examination paths.
Counsel may review the two matters assigned to the busiest examiner for recurring procedural or substantive issues. The available data does not establish that the applications share claims, disclosure, or prior-art concerns.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
