Analysis

Samuel David Baynes works in tech center 2600 and art unit 2665. His record includes 14 resolved cases, an allowance rate of 85.7%, an interview lift of 22.2%, and a median of 892 days to allowance. The limited case history makes these figures directional rather than conclusive.

The leading companies are NVIDIA Corporation, Google LLC, and Sony Group Corporation. The leading firms are CANTOR COLBURN LLP, HODGSON RUSS LLP, and OLIFF PLC. The recorded allowance rate and interview lift suggest that examiner discussions may be useful, but the small number of resolved cases makes it important to examine the facts of each application. The median timing provides an initial planning reference rather than a firm expectation.
