PHAM, MICHAEL is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The broad examiner spread favors centralized docket oversight and a common review of recurring software issues, combined with examiner-specific claim and argument strategies.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (20%) |
| §103 only | 3 (30%) |
| §102 only | 3 (30%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (10%) |
