Analysis

Ryan A. Dare serves as a patent examiner in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2132. The examiner's professional record includes 591 resolved cases, which serve as the basis for the following metrics. The allowance rate for these 591 cases is 76.0 percent. This 76.0 percent figure is a key data point for applicants to analyze when their patent applications are assigned to this examiner. The 591 resolved cases provide a sample for understanding the examiner's tendencies in Art Unit 2132.

The median days to allowance for successful applications is 1298. This 1298-day metric indicates the typical duration from filing to the grant of a patent for cases handled by this examiner. Practitioners can incorporate the 1298-day figure into their long-term planning and budgeting for patent prosecution. The 1298-day median is a consistent indicator of the procedural pace within Tech Center 2100. Understanding this timeline is essential for coordinating intellectual property strategies.

The data also shows an interview lift of 8.1 percent. This 8.1 percent lift represents the statistical change in the probability of an allowance when an interview is conducted during prosecution. Applicants may consider the 8.1 percent lift when deciding whether to engage in verbal advocacy with the examiner. The 8.1 percent lift suggests that direct communication is a factor in the resolution of the 591 cases. This metric, combined with the 76.0 percent allowance rate, provides a view of the examiner's history.
