Analysis

M. Baye Diao has a high volume of 1457 resolved cases in Art Unit 1747, located in Tech Center 2800. The examiner's allowance rate of 87.3% is coupled with a median days to allowance of 880. This high allowance rate suggests that the examiner is generally receptive to patentability arguments. The interview lift of 4.0% is relatively small, indicating that the examiner frequently allows cases through written responses alone and that interviews do not significantly change the outcome.

Practitioners in Tech Center 2800 can anticipate a high likelihood of allowance with a predictable timeline of 880 days. The 87.3% allowance rate across 1457 cases demonstrates a consistent pattern of behavior. Given the low 4.0% interview lift, applicants may find that the most efficient path to allowance is through high-quality written submissions rather than scheduling interviews. The examiner's high resolution count suggests a deep familiarity with the subject matter in Art Unit 1747, contributing to the steady 880-day median pendency.
