Analysis

Richemond Dorvil is assigned to Art Unit 2626 in Tech Center 2600. The examiner has 61 resolved cases with an allowance rate of 36.1%. This rate suggests a prosecution environment where fewer than half of the applications reach allowance. The median days to allowance is 1260, reflecting the time required to navigate this examiner's requirements.

The interview lift of 32.0% provides a notable strategic advantage. This lift indicates that applications involving an interview are more likely to be allowed than those that rely solely on written responses, especially when compared to the 36.1% baseline. With 61 resolved cases, the data set is smaller than some peers, but the 32.0% lift remains a factor for practitioners.

The 36.1% allowance rate emphasizes the importance of utilizing every available tool, including interviews, to overcome rejections in Tech Center 2600. The 1260-day median timeline should be factored into long-term patent portfolio planning. Practitioners in Art Unit 2626 can use these metrics to refine their approach to prosecution.
