SOTO, HENRIX is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending office actions under their review. The remaining pending office actions are handled by the 3 distinct examiners. The focus in 1 distinct art unit may allow for a unified prosecution strategy despite the involvement of 3 distinct examiners. Practitioners should leverage the 1 art unit's standards while addressing the 3 distinct examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
