Kuang Yu Metal Working Co. Ltd.’s portfolio is in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and has 1 pending office action. The prosecution record identifies 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, indicating concentrated examination handling. Counsel can use that concentration to connect the response closely to the mechanical disclosure and the claim features under review.
TOICH, SARA KATHERINE is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The available record shows no assignment across additional examiners or art units. The practical priority is a direct response to the current action that addresses the examiner’s grounds without unnecessarily narrowing the intended device and mechanical-system protection.
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.
