Candour OY has 2 pending office actions in Communications. The matters involve 2 examiners within 1 art unit, so examiner responsibility is divided while the examination setting remains shared.
BILODEAU, DUSTIN E is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Coordinated technical positions may be useful, but each action should be evaluated separately before response.
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.
