Analysis

Rebecca Carole Bryant is assigned to Tech Center 4100 and Art Unit 2665. She has managed 559 resolved cases, with an allowance rate pct of 64.8. This figure provides insight into the likelihood of securing a patent under her supervision. The median days to allowance for these cases is 1199, which serves as a guide for the expected length of the prosecution process from filing to grant.

An interview lift pct of 32.5 is a notable feature of her profile. This suggests that interviews are effective, correlating with an increase in the chance of allowance. For practitioners in Art Unit 2665, the 32.5 interview lift pct highlights the importance of direct communication to resolve issues that might otherwise lead to a rejection. The 559 resolved cases support the reliability of this lift.

With 559 resolved cases, the examiner's 64.8 allowance rate pct is well-supported. The 1199 median days to allowance indicates the duration for successful applications. Given the 32.5 interview lift pct, applicants should prioritize interviews as a primary strategy to improve their outcomes and move toward the 64.8 allowance rate pct in Tech Center 4100.
