Tech Center 2400 • Art Units: 2482 2486
This examiner grants 63% of resolved cases
James T. Boylan is an examiner in Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2482, where he has 497 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 63.2 percent. The median days to allowance for these cases is 1012, which means the average successful application takes a multi-year timeline to reach a grant.
The interview lift is 10.7 percent, indicating that interviews are a beneficial part of the prosecution process. This lift suggests that direct communication with the examiner can improve the 63.2 percent baseline allowance rate. For the 497 resolved cases, oral advocacy has been an effective way to address examiner concerns and move toward an allowance.
Applicants in Art Unit 2482 should be prepared for a multi-year prosecution cycle, as shown by the 1012 median days to allowance. However, the 10.7 percent interview lift provides a clear strategy for improving the odds of success. The 63.2 percent allowance rate indicates that while the process is not guaranteed, it is generally favorable for those who engage effectively.
