MCNURLEN, SCOTT THOMAS is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The limited concentration suggests that counsel should combine centralized portfolio review with responses tailored to the different examination assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (10%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (80%) |
