Analysis

Omar F Fernandez Rivas is an examiner in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2100, with 288 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 70.1 percent. This rate indicates a favorable environment for applicants, with a high likelihood of securing a patent grant. The 70.1 percent allowance rate suggests that the examiner is receptive to well-supported applications in the computer architecture and software fields.

The interview lift is 1.3 percent. This negligible lift suggests that interviews do not significantly change the outcome of prosecution, likely because the baseline allowance rate of 70.1 percent is already high. Most applications reach allowance through the standard written process. For the 288 resolved cases, the 1.3 percent lift indicates that verbal communication is rarely the deciding factor in the outcome.

The median days to allowance is 1312. This timeline provides a benchmark for the expected duration of the prosecution cycle. With 288 resolved cases, the data shows a consistent pattern of high allowance rates, making the 1.3 percent interview lift a minor factor in overall strategy. The 1312-day median offers a realistic expectation for the time required to achieve a patent grant.
