MCDUFFIE, MICHAEL D is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should focus on the individual office-action records while coordinating only those claim and disclosure positions that apply across the portfolio.
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.
