This examiner grants 79% of resolved cases

Analysis

Christopher Ryan Davis is an examiner in Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2476. He has resolved 53 cases, with an allowance rate of 79.2 percent. This high rate suggests a generally positive outlook for applicants, with nearly eight out of ten cases reaching a grant. The median days to allowance is 1174. This longer pendency means that while the outcome is often favorable, the process requires a significant time commitment from the applicant.

The data shows an interview lift of 18.5 percent. This is a substantial lift, indicating that interviews are an effective tool for overcoming rejections and securing an allowance. Practitioners should consider scheduling an interview to build on the 79.2 percent base allowance rate and potentially resolve issues more quickly than the 1174-day median timeline suggests. The 18.5 percent lift indicates that the examiner is likely open to discussing the merits of an application, which can be a key factor in navigating the prosecution process successfully. With 53 resolved cases, these metrics provide a useful guide for developing a prosecution strategy and managing the multi-year timeline.
