SMITH, JASON CHRISTOPHER is the busiest examiner, with 6 pending matters. Examiner-specific coordination is therefore central to managing the active docket, while the remaining matters require separate treatment in their assigned examination settings.
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.
