Examiner: BURGOS-GUNTIN, NELSON R

Analysis

Nelson R. Burgos-Guntin is an examiner in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2831. He has 602 resolved cases, with an allowance rate pct of 92.5. This percentage indicates that the majority of applications he reviews are granted. The median days to allowance is 655, which suggests an efficient timeline for reaching a patent grant in his art unit. This 655 median days to allowance is a key benchmark.

The interview lift pct of 4.3 suggests that interviews provide a small benefit to the probability of allowance. Given that the allowance rate pct is already 92.5, there is little room for an interview to provide a significant lift. Practitioners in Art Unit 2831 may find that the 602 resolved cases already follow a successful path without the need for extensive oral advocacy. This lift is a minor factor.

The 92.5 allowance rate pct and the 655 median days to allowance define a favorable environment for applicants. The 4.3 interview lift pct implies that the written record is usually sufficient for achieving a grant. With 602 resolved cases, these metrics provide a reliable guide for expectations in Tech Center 2800. The 655 median days to allowance remains the primary timing guide.
