Analysis

Eric K. Ashbahian examines applications in Art Unit 2891 within Tech Center 2800. The examiner has 497 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 68.0 percent. This rate shows that more than two-thirds of the applications result in a patent grant. The median days to allowance is 1021, providing a benchmark for the expected duration of the process for cases assigned to this examiner.

The interview lift is 4.7 percent, which indicates a modest but positive correlation between interviews and allowances. While the 68.0 percent allowance rate is already strong, the lift suggests that interviews can still provide a benefit for resolving specific issues. With 497 resolved cases, the data is robust and reflects a consistent examination profile. Practitioners can use the 1021 median days to allowance to inform their strategy and client communications in Art Unit 2891. The 4.7 percent lift offers a slight but measurable advantage during prosecution.
