I-Pro Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in Communications. The actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, so the profile reflects separate examination paths rather than a single shared assignment.
HANCE, ROBERT J is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. That assignment covers one of the 2 actions, leaving the docket evenly divided between the listed examiners. Practitioners should therefore preserve separate prosecution records and assess each matter's communications technology and examination issues independently.
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.
