NGUYEN, HUNG is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That concentration makes examiner-specific consistency especially relevant, while the remaining matter still requires separate review of its assigned examination record.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (67%) |
