Analysis

ELLIOTT, ANDREW JAMES works in tech center 3700 and art unit 3711. The profile contains 1 resolved case, an allowance rate of 0.0%, and a median of 255 days to allowance. Interviews show a 0.0% lift in the allowance rate.

The single resolved case provides too little history to support a broad prediction. The available outcome was not an allowance, and no interview-related lift is shown. Counsel should therefore focus on the specific application record, the cited art, and the examiner’s stated grounds rather than infer a stable prosecution pattern.

ACUSHNET Company, AOB Products Company, and MIZUNO Corporation are the leading companies. BIRCH STEWART KOLASCH & BIRCH, LLP, FBT Gibbons LLP, and FOLEY & LARDNER LLP are the leading firms. These names identify participants in the limited record.
