Analysis

Brandon Michael Binczak is assigned to Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2116. The examiner has 64 resolved cases and an allowance rate pct of 39.1. This lower allowance rate suggests that applicants may face significant hurdles during prosecution. The data indicates that less than half of the resolved cases result in a patent grant.

The interview lift pct is 33.4, which is a substantial increase. This figure suggests that direct communication with the examiner is a highly effective strategy for overcoming rejections. The median days to allowance is 1129. Practitioners should prioritize interviews early in the process to navigate the difficult 39.1 allowance rate pct. The significant lift pct of 33.4 demonstrates that verbal advocacy is a key driver of success in this docket.
