Nextpert Inc. has 3 pending office actions in Communications. The matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, so each pending matter follows a separate examination path.
CRAWLEY, KEITH L is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should use matter-specific prosecution planning, without relying on examiner or art-unit concentration.
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.
