Analysis

Ajay P. Cattungal works in Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2419. He has 919 resolved cases with an allowance rate of 89.0 percent. This high volume and high rate suggest a predictable and positive experience for applicants. The 919 resolved cases provide a robust dataset for understanding the examiner's approach to patent examination.

The interview lift is 6.7 percent. While the baseline allowance rate is already very high at 89.0 percent, the lift still provides a statistical advantage. Interviews can help resolve any remaining points and secure a grant more efficiently. The 6.7 percent lift indicates that direct engagement remains a useful tool even in a highly favorable prosecution environment.

The median days to allowance is 869. This timeline is an efficient metric for applicants to gauge the expected duration of their prosecution. The 869-day figure, when paired with the 89.0 percent allowance rate, indicates a relatively fast path to issuance. Practitioners can use this 869-day benchmark to manage expectations regarding the total time required to reach a successful conclusion.
