ACHILLE, ASHMEED CARCIA is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. Counsel should manage each record separately and align arguments only where the software claim issues materially overlap.
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.
