13482073 Canada Inc. has 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is located within a single distinct art unit. TRIEU, VAN THANH is the busiest examiner for this portfolio.
Because there is only a single pending office action, the busiest examiner is responsible for the entire pending workload. The presence of a sole distinct examiner and a sole distinct art unit for this action indicates a very specific point of contact within the patent office. This ratio between pending matters and examiners suggests that the prosecution is highly concentrated.
Practitioners should focus on the specific requirements of the assigned art unit. The Communications designation provides the technical context for this pending matter. This concentration suggests that the examiner's individual preferences will be the primary factor in the outcome of the case for 13482073 Canada Inc.
