MANGOHIG, THOMAS A is the busiest listed examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should maintain a coordinated chemistry claim strategy, but prepare matter-specific responses because the examinations are spread across different assignments.
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.
