Examiner: BAYNES, SAMUEL DAVID

Analysis

Samuel David Baynes examines applications in Art Unit 2665 within Tech Center 2600. He has reached a final resolution in 10 cases, providing a preliminary view of his prosecution patterns. The allowance rate pct of 90.0 is very high, suggesting that almost all applications in this small sample resulted in a patent grant. This 90.0 percent rate indicates a very favorable environment for applicants who reach a final decision. The median days to allowance for these cases is 901, reflecting a moderate prosecution timeline for successful outcomes. While the 10 resolved cases represent a limited data set, the high frequency of grants is a notable starting point for practitioners in Tech Center 2600.

The interview lift pct of 16.7 suggests that direct communication provides a meaningful advantage during the examination process. This positive lift indicates that engaging in an interview is correlated with a higher probability of success compared to cases without such interaction. For practitioners, the 16.7 percent lift offers a tactical tool to resolve any potential issues that might arise during the 901-day median wait. Even with a high baseline allowance rate of 90.0 percent, the data suggests that verbal negotiation remains a productive strategy. As more cases are resolved in Art Unit 2665, these metrics will provide a clearer picture of the examiner's long-term tendencies. Currently, the data points toward a collaborative and successful prosecution environment.
