Analysis

Octavia L. Davis-Hollington is an examiner within Art Unit 2855 of Tech Center 2800. The current data for this examiner is based on 1 resolved case, which resulted in an allowance. This single outcome produces an allowance rate of 100.0% and a median time to allowance of 840 days. While these figures provide an initial look at the examiner's work, the small sample size of 1 case means that these metrics may change as more matters are resolved.

The interview lift is recorded at 0.0%, reflecting that the interview conducted in the single resolved case did not alter the final outcome of allowance. For practitioners, the 840 days to allowance serves as the only available timing benchmark for prosecution in Art Unit 2855 under this examiner. The 100.0% allowance rate indicates a successful outcome for the initial case, but it does not yet establish a long-term statistical trend. Applicants should monitor this profile for additional data points as the examiner's resolved case count increases beyond 1.
