Ttp PLC has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners, yet they are both contained within 1 distinct art unit. BALLER, KELSEY E is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, managing 1 pending office action. The use of 1 distinct art unit suggests a consistent technical classification for the company's filings, even though the 2 pending office actions are being reviewed by different individuals.
This structure allows for some level of institutional consistency within the specific art unit while dealing with multiple examiners. Because the 2 pending office actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, the company must navigate two different examination styles within the same technical field. BALLER, KELSEY E is responsible for 1 pending office action, representing half of the current active prosecution.
Practitioners can benefit from the shared art unit by applying similar technical arguments across both filings, even if the examiners differ. However, the lack of examiner concentration means that the company cannot rely on a single point of contact for its Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems matters. This arrangement requires a balanced approach to manage the individual preferences of the 2 distinct examiners while maintaining a unified technical strategy within the single art unit.
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.
