SCHELL, JOSEPH O is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel can coordinate the portfolio through consistent communications claim language and technical evidence rather than relying on a repeated examiner relationship.
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.
