Analysis

Collin X. Beatty is an examiner in Art Unit 2871 of Tech Center 2800, where he has 609 resolved cases. The allowance rate pct of 82.1 is quite high, indicating that the majority of applications reaching a final resolution result in a patent grant. This 82.1 percent rate suggests a very favorable environment for applicants seeking to secure intellectual property rights. The median days to allowance is 934, reflecting a moderate prosecution timeline for successful cases. This 934-day median indicates that successful applicants can expect a relatively steady pace of examination in Tech Center 2800. The volume of 609 resolved cases provides a robust data set for these metrics.

The data also shows an interview lift pct of 14.2, which indicates that direct communication is a beneficial strategy. This positive lift suggests that applications involving an interview have a higher probability of allowance than those without verbal negotiation. For practitioners, the 14.2 percent lift provides a tactical option to further improve the already strong 82.1 percent baseline success rate. Engaging in an interview can help resolve any remaining technical issues and potentially streamline the 934-day median wait time. With 609 resolved cases, these metrics offer a clear view of the examiner's tendencies in Art Unit 2871. The combination of a high grant rate and a positive interview lift makes this a relatively collaborative environment for prosecution. Strategic use of interviews is recommended to maximize the chances of a favorable outcome.
