Analysis

Examiner Crawford maintains a high allowance rate of 88.0% in Art Unit 2612, based on 833 resolved cases. This suggests a very favorable outlook for applicants in Tech Center 2600. The median days to allowance of 900 indicates a relatively efficient prosecution timeline. With 833 resolved cases, the examiner has a well-established record of consistent and fair examination, making this a predictable environment for patent applicants.

The interview lift of 9.7% shows that verbal communication is a helpful tool for resolving outstanding issues. While the 88.0% allowance rate is already strong, an interview can provide a meaningful boost for more complex cases. For the 833 resolved cases, the data supports a strategy of clear communication and targeted interviews to maintain high success rates and efficient timelines. Practitioners can use the 900-day median pendency for planning, knowing that the 9.7% lift offers a reliable way to address any examiner concerns.
