RODDEN, JOSHUA E is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The separate assignments favor individual response preparation, with cross-matter review used to preserve consistent technical terminology.
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.
