The busiest examiner for the company is MERLINO, DAVID P, who is responsible for the 1 pending office action. This individual manages the entire pending workload for the portfolio.

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.
