Analysis

Paul D. Bohannon is an examiner in Tech Center 2900, working within Art Unit 2913. He has 614 resolved cases, which provides a robust dataset for analysis. His allowance rate pct is 97.9, indicating that almost every application he examines is eventually granted. This 97.9 allowance rate pct reflects a highly favorable environment for applicants in Art Unit 2913, where the vast majority of filings result in a patent.

The efficiency of prosecution is also high, with a median days to allowance of 584. This 584 median days to allowance is quite low, suggesting a rapid path from filing to grant. The interview lift pct of 0.6 is negligible, which is expected given the extremely high 97.9 allowance rate pct. When nearly all cases are allowed through standard procedures, the 0.6 interview lift pct indicates that interviews are rarely necessary to achieve a positive result. With 614 resolved cases, Bohannon's performance in Tech Center 2900 is consistent and predictable.
