Buffalo Games LLC has 2 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. Those matters are handled by 2 distinct examiners in 2 distinct art units, so the current workload is divided rather than concentrated in one examination channel.
LOCKETT, KIMBERLY R is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should evaluate each action independently because the portfolio does not show one examiner handling both pending matters.
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.
