Analysis

Examiner Cox has an allowance rate of 83.8% in Art Unit 2415, based on 493 resolved cases. This high rate suggests a favorable environment for applicants within Tech Center 2400. The median days to allowance of 961 indicates that the prosecution process is relatively streamlined. With 493 resolved cases, the examiner has a well-documented history of consistent and fair examination, providing a reliable baseline for future applicants.

The interview lift of 6.3% shows a modest benefit to engaging in direct discussion with the examiner. While the 83.8% allowance rate is already high, an interview can provide the extra momentum needed to resolve specific rejections. For the 493 resolved cases, the data supports a strategy of clear written communication supplemented by targeted interviews when necessary. Practitioners can rely on the 961-day median timeline for planning purposes, knowing that the 6.3% lift offers a viable path to overcome any remaining obstacles. This balanced approach is likely to result in a successful outcome given the examiner's high baseline for granting patents.
