Bethany P. Barham serves in Tech Center 1600, specifically within Art Unit 1600, and has overseen 518 resolved cases. Her allowance rate stands at 51.7 percent, reflecting the outcomes for applications under her review. The median days to allowance of 1404 represents the duration for the patent acquisition process. This 1404-day timeline suggests that persistence in prosecution is a factor for success.
A metric for practitioners to consider is the 32.1 percent interview lift. This indicates that applications are more likely to reach allowance after a formal interview compared to the 51.7 percent baseline allowance rate. With 518 resolved cases as a foundation, the data suggests that proactive communication is a tool for navigating the 1404-day median timeline. Utilizing interviews can help address examiner concerns in this specific unit. The 32.1 percent lift provides an incentive to engage the examiner to potentially clarify the path to grant.
