Benjamin O. Dulaney is an examiner in Tech Center 2600, assigned to Art Unit 2113. He has handled 576 resolved cases. This volume of work provides a significant sample size for evaluating his performance in the communications and computer architecture fields. His experience in Art Unit 2113 suggests a specialized understanding of the technical challenges inherent in these sectors.
The examiner's allowance rate is 62.3 percent. He also shows an interview lift of 11.4 percent. This positive lift indicates that engaging in an interview generally improves the chances of allowance. For practitioners, the 11.4 percent increase suggests that while written responses are the primary mode of communication, a well-timed interview can provide the necessary push to overcome rejections and reach a grant.
The median days to allowance for his cases is 1211. This duration indicates a longer prosecution cycle compared to some other units. When considered alongside the 62.3 percent allowance rate, the 1211-day median suggests that applicants should be prepared for a multi-year commitment to see a case through to allowance. The 11.4 percent interview lift may be a key factor in navigating this extended timeline and ensuring that the 62.3 percent success rate is achieved.
