Examiner: DAVIDSON IV, CULLEN LEE GARRETT

Analysis

Cullen Lee Garrett Davidson IV is an examiner in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1746. He has resolved 72 cases, with an allowance rate of 40.3 percent. This rate is relatively low, suggesting a more rigorous examination process that results in fewer than half of the applications being granted. The median days to allowance is 1335, which means that successful prosecution typically takes a significant amount of time. This combination of a low allowance rate and a long timeline presents a challenging environment for applicants.

Despite these challenges, the data shows a very high interview lift of 45.4 percent. This is one of the most impactful lift figures available, indicating that an interview can significantly increase the chances of success. For practitioners, this 45.4 percent lift is a critical piece of information, suggesting that an interview should be a primary part of the prosecution strategy. By engaging the examiner directly, applicants can improve their odds of moving beyond the 40.3 percent base allowance rate. Given the 1335-day median pendency, an early interview may also help in identifying the most efficient path to a grant.
