Tech Center 2100 • Art Units: 2186 2187
This examiner grants 8% of resolved cases
Examiner Anthony Ray Chavez operates within Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2186. Across 13 resolved cases, the examiner maintains an allowance rate of 7.7%. This 7.7% rate suggests that the majority of applications do not reach allowance under initial examination. Practitioners should note that the median days to allowance for successful applications is 1520, indicating a lengthy path to grant for those who do succeed. This 1520-day timeline requires significant patience and resources from applicants navigating the process in Art Unit 2186.
The data reveals a significant interview lift of 46.2%. This 46.2% lift suggests that engaging in direct communication with the examiner may substantially improve the probability of overcoming rejections. When compared to the 7.7% baseline allowance rate, the 46.2% lift represents a critical tactical pivot for prosecution strategy. Applicants facing the 1520-day median timeline should consider early interviews to potentially streamline the process in Tech Center 2100. The 46.2% lift is a key indicator that verbal advocacy is highly valued by this examiner.
The sample of 13 resolved cases provides an initial look at the examiner's tendencies. Despite the limited volume of 13 cases, the 46.2% interview lift remains the most actionable metric for those navigating these requirements. Preparing for a detailed technical discussion appears necessary to move beyond the initial 7.7% allowance probability. Practitioners should use these figures to set realistic expectations for both the 1520-day duration and the likelihood of success in Tech Center 2100.
