SCHMIEDER, NICOLE A K is the busiest examiner identified in the data, with 1 pending office action. This examiner's workload is consistent with the other distinct examiners involved in the foundation's current prosecution activities, as the busiest examiner pending count is 1.
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.
