Aloe Semiconductor Inc. has 2 pending office actions in Communications. The matters are assigned to 2 examiners and 2 art units, indicating that the active record is divided across separate examination assignments.
VANDERPUYE, KENNETH N is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Matter-level review is appropriate because no single examiner or art unit accounts for multiple pending actions in the profile.
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.
