DAVIS, DAVID DONALD is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The modest concentration makes examiner-specific preparation useful, but portfolio tracking remains necessary to coordinate responses across the broader art-unit distribution.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
