Taicang Manaflex Technology Co. Ltd. has 4 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The docket spans 3 examiners and 3 art units, indicating some concentration across the examination assignments rather than one distinct channel for every action.
QUIGLEY, THOMAS K is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Counsel can examine those matters for recurring issues while separately managing the actions assigned elsewhere.
The shared technology area supports consistency in claim terminology and technical explanations. The examiner and art-unit distribution still calls for tailored responses, particularly where prior-art treatment or claim interpretation differs.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
