Listed by the USPTO as BEAN, GRIFFIN TANNER
Tech Center 2100 • Art Units: 2121 2147
This examiner grants 28% of resolved cases
Griffin Tanner Bean, in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2121, has 32 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 28.1 percent, which is relatively low and indicates a challenging prosecution environment for applicants. The interview lift of 15.3 percent suggests that interviews can provide a helpful boost, though the overall probability of success remains modest. This 15.3 percent lift is a critical tool for practitioners to consider when attempting to overcome the hurdles presented by the 28.1 percent allowance rate.
The median days to allowance for Bean is 1633, which is a very long duration for the patent acquisition process. Applicants should be prepared for an extended prosecution cycle when working with this examiner. Top companies like International Business Machines Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Robert Bosch GmbH are frequently represented in Bean's caseload. Firms such as HAUPTMAN HAM, LLP, CHIP LAW GROUP, and Leydig, Voit & Mayer, Ltd navigate these cases and the 1633-day median pendency, using the 15.3 percent interview lift to improve their outcomes.
