MARU, TEMESGEN MALLEDE is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That recurring assignment gives counsel an opportunity to compare responses and maintain continuity between those cases, while the other matter requires separate examiner analysis.
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.
