Aramco Services Company has 8 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters span 7 examiners and 5 art units, indicating a distributed docket with some shared art-unit coverage and limited examiner overlap.
SHALABY, AHMAD HUSSAM is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The assignment is larger than the other individual examiner workloads shown, so it may be a useful starting point for identifying recurring issues while preserving matter-specific review elsewhere.
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. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (11%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (56%) |
| §103 only | 2 (22%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (11%) |
