AHMED, SHAMIM is associated with 2 pending matters. Recurring examiner activity creates an opportunity to maintain continuity in prosecution positions, while the other assignments call for art-unit-specific analysis.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (11%) |
| §103 only | 5 (56%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (33%) |
