1046959 Ontario Inc. operates in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company currently has 1 pending office action being handled by 1 distinct examiner. This indicates a very focused and singular point of prosecution for the company's current intellectual property efforts, with no other active matters reported in the data.
This prosecution activity is localized within 1 distinct art unit. The busiest examiner for the portfolio is JOHNSON, WILLIAM DONALD, who is responsible for the 1 pending office action currently active. Because there is only 1 pending action, this examiner is the sole individual managing the company's active matters at the patent office. The 1 pending office action assigned to this examiner represents the full extent of the current pending workload.
For a practitioner, the fact that the 1 pending office action is situated within 1 distinct art unit and assigned to 1 distinct examiner simplifies the prosecution strategy. There is no need to coordinate across different technical groups or examiner styles. The success of the current portfolio activity depends entirely on the interaction with JOHNSON, WILLIAM DONALD within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area.
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.
