2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Ye Ventures LLC is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the technology area of Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. These 2 actions are assigned to distinct examiners, meaning no single examiner is handling more than a single matter. All prosecution activity is localized within 1 distinct art unit, which centralizes the administrative oversight of the portfolio and suggests a consistent technical classification for the filings.
The busiest examiner for the company is WOOLWINE, SHANE D, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are multiple distinct examiners for the pending actions, the workload is evenly split between the personnel. While the technology is focused in a single art unit, the specific applications are being reviewed by different individuals. This requires the company to manage different examiner relationships within the same supervisory group.
The 2 pending actions are distributed across examiners, but the 1 art unit provides a common administrative framework. WOOLWINE, SHANE D handles exactly 1 of the total actions, matching the workload of the other examiner involved. This distribution highlights a balance between technical concentration in one art unit and personnel diversity at the examiner level for the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems portfolio.
