RUMP, RICHARD M is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Since this 1 action is the only one pending for the company, the examiner's individual assessment will be the sole factor in the immediate outcome of the prosecution. This level of concentration simplifies the management of the portfolio but increases the impact of any single procedural hurdle encountered during the examination process.
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.
