Analysis

Jonathan A. Boyd is an examiner in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2627, where he has 722 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 69.1 percent, which is a moderate rate for this tech center. The median days to allowance is 1029, indicating a lengthy process for reaching a resolution.

The interview lift for this examiner is 7.2 percent. While this shows a positive impact from oral advocacy, the benefit is relatively modest compared to the 69.1 percent baseline allowance rate. For the 722 resolved cases, practitioners may find that interviews are helpful for clarifying technical issues but are not always necessary for success.

The 1029 median days to allowance suggests that applicants should be prepared for a multi-year process in Art Unit 2627. With a 69.1 percent allowance rate, the examiner is open to granting patents, and the 7.2 percent interview lift provides a small but useful advantage. These statistics from 722 resolved cases offer a stable foundation for planning prosecution strategies.
