Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2835 2847 2848
This examiner grants 87% of resolved cases
Dion Ferguson is an examiner in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2835, with a high volume of 1022 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 87.0 percent. This very high rate suggests that the vast majority of applications on his docket are eventually granted. The 87.0 percent allowance rate indicates a highly favorable environment for applicants in the semiconductors and electrical circuits fields.
The interview lift is 8.2 percent. While the lift is positive, the high baseline allowance rate of 87.0 percent means that many applications are successful even without an interview. Nevertheless, for the 1022 resolved cases, interviews remain a helpful option for resolving outstanding issues. Practitioners should consider the 8.2 percent lift as a way to potentially expedite the 87.0 percent allowance path.
The median days to allowance is 766. This duration indicates a relatively fast path to grant. The combination of an 87.0 percent allowance rate and a 766-day median makes this a highly favorable and efficient environment for patent applicants. The 766-day median provides a clear benchmark for the expected time to reach a final resolution.
