PATEL, NEEL G is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Matter-specific review is appropriate because the profile does not show multiple actions under one examiner or art unit.
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.
