Suncor Energy Inc. has 1 pending office action in its patent portfolio. This activity is within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The matter is assigned to 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a specific technical focus for the company's current patenting efforts.
The matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner. MARJORIE PUJOLS-CRUZ is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. This examiner is responsible for the entirety of Suncor Energy Inc.'s current pending office action workload. Because the portfolio currently consists of 1 pending action and 1 examiner, the company's immediate prosecution success is entirely dependent on its interaction with Marjorie Pujols-Cruz. This requires a strategy that is highly responsive to the specific requirements of this examiner and the single art unit where the case is being reviewed. A targeted approach is essential for the company's success.
