The art-unit concentration gives counsel a basis for organizing the docket by technical unit, even though examiner-specific preparation remains necessary. Responses involving the named examiner should also be checked for consistent claim and argument positions.
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.
