Analysis

Javier Flores is an examiner in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1733. His profile currently shows 1 resolved case, which is a very small sample size for evaluating long-term performance. This single case resulted in an allowance rate of 0.0 percent. This percentage indicates that the one application resolved by this examiner did not result in a patent grant. Practitioners should be cautious when interpreting this rate, as it is based on a single outcome.

The data for interview effectiveness shows an interview lift of 0.0 percent. This figure suggests that for the 1 resolved case on record, an interview did not change the final outcome of the prosecution. With only 1 case to analyze, it is difficult to determine if interviews are generally ineffective or if this specific instance was an outlier. Applicants may still find value in communication, but the current data does not demonstrate a statistical benefit.

The median days to allowance for this examiner is 1036. This pendency figure represents the time taken to reach a resolution for the single case in the data set. While 1036 days provides a specific data point, it may not be representative of the examiner's future speed or the typical timeline for Art Unit 1733. Prosecution strategy should remain flexible until more resolved cases are added to this profile.
