DICUS, TAMRA is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Response planning can therefore remain specific to each matter and its assigned technical unit.
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.
