BASS, DIRK R is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The assignment is a central point in the docket, but other matters remain with different examiners and units. Counsel should compare recurring issues, then tailor amendments and technical explanations to each application’s record.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
