Analysis

Pierre E. Elisca manages a high-volume docket in Tech Center 3700, with 1561 resolved cases attributed to Art Unit 2847. The examiner maintains a very high allowance rate of 90.2 percent. This suggests that the vast majority of applications reaching a final disposition under this examiner result in a patent. The median days to allowance is 831, reflecting a standard duration for the cases processed. This 831-day metric provides a reliable expectation for the time required to navigate the prosecution process from start to finish.

While the allowance rate is already high, interviews still provide a positive impact. The data shows an interview lift of 6.4 percent. Although this lift is smaller than in other units, it still contributes to the overall 90.2 percent success rate. Practitioners should weigh the 831-day timeline against the high probability of success when managing client expectations in this art unit. The sheer volume of 1561 cases indicates that the 90.2 percent allowance rate is a stable and predictable outcome for those filing in Art Unit 2847.
