Irm Inc. has 2 pending office actions assigned to 2 distinct examiners. CRADDOCK, ROBERT J is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. With 2 distinct examiners handling the 2 pending office actions, the portfolio lacks a centralized examiner contact.
This distribution requires practitioners to tailor their approach to the individual preferences of each examiner. The presence of 2 distinct examiners for a portfolio of this size suggests that even a small number of filings can be subject to diverse examination styles at the USPTO. Practitioners should manage each of the 2 pending office actions as an independent matter, as there is no overlap in the assigned personnel.
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.
