This examiner grants 97% of resolved cases

Analysis

Ashley Nicole Blackwell is an examiner in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2813. The examiner has 70 resolved cases and an allowance rate pct of 98.6. This indicates that almost all resolved cases result in an allowance. The data suggests a very high probability of success for any application assigned to this examiner.

The median days to allowance is 1233. The interview lift pct is 2.3, showing a very small statistical increase in allowance probability following an interview. Given the 98.6 allowance rate pct, the 2.3 lift pct is a minor factor in overall strategy. The 1233 day timeline is the primary consideration for applicants, as the path to grant is nearly certain but takes over three years on average. The high allowance rate pct of 98.6 makes this one of the most favorable dockets for obtaining a patent.
