Examiner: BENNETT, GEORGE B

Analysis

George B Bennett serves in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 2841, where he has managed 552 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 79.5 percent, indicating a high probability of success for applicants. This 79.5 percent rate, based on 552 cases, suggests that the examiner is generally open to granting patents when the requirements are met.

The data also shows an interview lift of 10.7 percent. This positive lift indicates that conducting an interview can further enhance the chances of allowance beyond the 79.5 percent baseline. For practitioners, the 10.7 percent lift is a meaningful incentive to engage in verbal discussions to resolve outstanding issues.

The median days to allowance is 746, which is a relatively efficient timeline for prosecution. When working in Art Unit 2841, the 746-day median and 79.5 percent allowance rate provide a clear framework for expectations. The 10.7 percent interview lift suggests that even in a high-allowance environment, direct communication remains an effective strategy for navigating the 746-day process.
