Manufacturing Resources International Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners, meaning each pending matter has a unique reviewer. These examiners are located within 2 distinct art units, showing that at least two of the examiners are working within the same administrative group.
The busiest examiner is HAUGHTON, ANTHONY MICHAEL, who has a busiest examiner pending count of 1. Because the pending count is 1 for the busiest examiner, the 3 pending office actions are distributed among the 3 distinct examiners. This distribution suggests a varied prosecution experience across the semiconductor portfolio.
With 3 distinct examiners reviewing 3 pending office actions, the company faces a diverse set of perspectives. However, the use of 2 distinct art units indicates some level of administrative concentration within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. Practitioners must manage the individual styles of 3 examiners across these two units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
