Analysis

Robert H. Bejcek II is an examiner in Art Unit 2123 of Tech Center 4100, with a total of 258 resolved cases. The allowance rate pct of 62.8 indicates a favorable likelihood of success for applicants, as more than three-fifths of cases reach a grant. This 62.8 percent rate suggests a positive environment for securing patent rights. However, the median days to allowance is 1393, which reflects an exceptionally long prosecution timeline for successful cases. This 1393-day median indicates that practitioners should be prepared for an extended period of examination that typically lasts much longer than the average. The 258 resolved cases provide a solid basis for these performance metrics.

The interview lift pct of 22.5 is a key metric for developing a successful strategy. This substantial lift indicates that engaging in an interview is highly correlated with an increased probability of allowance compared to cases without verbal negotiation. By utilizing an interview, applicants can significantly improve their chances of success beyond the 62.8 percent baseline. Given the 258 resolved cases, this 22.5 percent lift is a reliable indicator that direct communication is an effective tool in Art Unit 2123. Practitioners should consider an interview as a primary tactic to overcome obstacles and potentially expedite the 1393-day median wait time. The data underscores the importance of proactive advocacy in this examination environment. Effectively leveraging the interview process can help move applications toward a favorable outcome more efficiently.
