HAQ, SHAFIQUL is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Those matters warrant coordinated review for recurring issues, while the remaining action should receive a separate examiner-specific response assessment.
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.
