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.

| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
