LUAN, SCOTT is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel can maintain a common art-unit framework while adapting claim arguments to the separate examiner 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.
