Tech Center 2100 • Art Units: 2194 2195
This examiner grants 71% of resolved cases
Michael W. Ayers is an examiner in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2194. He has managed 309 resolved cases with an allowance rate pct of 70.6%. This 70.6% rate indicates that a majority of the applications in his portfolio result in a grant. The median days to allowance for these cases is 1191, which establishes a timeline for practitioners to expect when prosecuting in this art unit. For the 309 resolved cases, this 1191-day period represents the median duration from filing to issuance for successful applications.
The data shows an interview lift pct of 51.0%. This 51.0% lift is an increase in the probability of allowance when an interview is conducted compared to the 70.6% baseline allowance rate. This suggests that direct communication with the examiner is a highly effective method for resolving outstanding rejections. Practitioners can use the 51.0% lift to evaluate the impact of an interview, as it correlates with a much higher success rate than the baseline. The 1191-day median suggests that such engagement is a critical part of the process in Art Unit 2194.
