Sansha Electric Manufacturing Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, suggesting a range of technical claims within the semiconductor field. The prosecution involves distinct examiners, providing a unique reviewer for each pending matter. With the pending office actions, the company maintains a small but active presence in the USPTO. This distribution across the distinct art units requires the applicant to adapt to different departmental expectations.
MATEY, MICHAEL A is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. With the distinct examiners and art units, the portfolio is spread across the patent office's organizational structure. This distribution means the applicant must navigate different examiner preferences across the pending office actions. The focus on Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics indicates a specialized technical direction. Practitioners should coordinate their responses to MATEY, MICHAEL A and the other examiner to ensure consistency across the distinct art units.
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.
