Lineage Logistics LLC currently manages 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and the same number of art units. This indicates that the company's active patent applications are being reviewed by separate technical groups. GOYEA, OLUSEGUN is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action.
With a total of 2 pending actions, this examiner is responsible for a portion of the active workload. The presence of 2 examiners and multiple art units reflects a decentralized prosecution profile within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. Practitioners should be prepared to handle separate examination processes, as each matter is being evaluated independently by different personnel. This structure suggests that the company's current innovations are spread across different sub-sectors of mechanical systems. Each pending action represents a unique path toward patent issuance, requiring a strategy that addresses the unique concerns of each examiner in their respective art units. The alignment of examiners to art units ensures that each application receives a specialized review.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |

| §101 only | 1 (33%) |
