Makusafe Corp. has 4 pending office actions in Communications. Each matter is assigned to a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit, so the prosecution workload is distributed across four separate examination settings.
TWEEL JR, JOHN ALEXANDER is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The data does not identify a repeated examiner or art-unit relationship, making matter-specific response planning the appropriate operational focus.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (50%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (25%) |
