KIM, ANDREW SANG is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should use centralized coordination to maintain consistency while preparing responses for the multiple networking and security assignments.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 5 (62%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (25%) |
