Examiner: ANDERSON, MATTHEW D

Analysis

Matthew D. Anderson has a smaller data set of 24 resolved cases in Tech Center 2600. This number also identifies his specific Art Unit. Despite the limited number of cases, the examiner shows a 62.5 percent allowance rate. The median time to reach these allowances is 1206 days, indicating a moderate pace of prosecution. The 24 resolved cases provide the foundation for these statistics, which suggest a balanced approach to examination and a reasonable probability of securing patent rights.

The interview lift is 22.2 percent, which is a significant increase over the 62.5 percent base rate. This suggests that even with a smaller sample of cases, the examiner is responsive to direct communication. Applicants should be aware of the 1206-day median timeline when managing their portfolios. The 22.2 percent lift indicates that interviews are a valuable strategy for securing a grant. By engaging the examiner directly, practitioners can potentially improve their outcomes beyond the baseline. This strategy is particularly relevant given the 1206 days typically required to resolve a case.
