Analysis

Brian William Avery is an examiner in Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2495. He has 91 resolved cases with an allowance rate pct of 59.3%. This 59.3% rate indicates that more than half of the applications in his portfolio result in a grant. The median days to allowance for these cases is 1147, which establishes a timeline for practitioners to expect when prosecuting in this art unit. For the 91 resolved cases, this 1147-day period represents the median duration from filing to issuance for successful applications.

The data shows an interview lift pct of 56.8%. This 56.8% lift is an increase in the probability of allowance when an interview is conducted compared to the 59.3% baseline allowance rate. This suggests that direct communication with the examiner is a highly effective method for resolving outstanding rejections. Practitioners can use the 56.8% lift to evaluate the impact of an interview, as it correlates with a much higher success rate than the baseline. The 1147-day median suggests that such engagement is a critical part of the process in Art Unit 2495.
