Analysis

David J. Bolduc serves in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2852, having handled 734 resolved cases. His allowance rate of 84.5% reflects a consistent pattern of granting applications. The interview lift of 6.8% is positive, indicating that while interviews help, they may not be the primary driver of allowance in his docket. The median days to allowance of 808 provides a specific timeline for the duration of the prosecution process.

This 808-day figure serves as a central measure of his efficiency in reaching a final disposition. With 734 resolved cases, the data provides a reliable view of his examination trends. The 84.5% allowance rate suggests that a majority of applications eventually reach grant. The 6.8% lift from interviews still warrants consideration for complex cases where clarification is needed. Practitioners should use the 808-day median to plan for the typical lifecycle of a patent application under his review and manage client expectations accordingly in Art Unit 2852.
