Kevin W. Figueroa is a patent examiner in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2122. He has reached a resolution in 376 cases. The data shows an allowance rate of 70.2 percent for these cases. This percentage reflects the proportion of applications that result in a patent grant rather than an abandonment. Practitioners can use this 70.2 percent figure to assess the general likelihood of success when an application is assigned to this examiner.
The prosecution strategy may be influenced by the interview lift of 20.7 percent. This metric measures the change in the allowance rate when an interview is part of the process. An interview lift of 20.7 percent suggests that direct communication with the examiner is associated with a higher probability of allowance. This information is valuable for determining whether to dedicate resources to an examiner interview during the prosecution of a patent application.
The median days to allowance for applications handled by this examiner is 1426. This number represents the middle value of the time taken from filing to the issuance of a patent. A median of 1426 days provides a specific timeline for applicants to consider when planning their patent portfolio strategy. The 376 resolved cases provide the basis for these metrics, offering a data-grounded view of the examiner's historical patterns.
