Analysis

Alan Jerome Fowler is an examiner in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1600. His profile includes 1 resolved case, which resulted in a 100.0 percent allowance rate. This case reached allowance in 978 days, establishing the current median pendency for his docket. While this is a single data point, it shows a successful grant for the applicant involved. Practitioners can use the 978-day figure as an initial estimate for the time required to navigate prosecution with this examiner.

The interview lift is 0.0 percent, which is consistent with a 100.0 percent base allowance rate where no additional lift is statistically possible. The absence of a lift indicates that the allowance was achieved without the need for an interview to improve the probability of success. Although the rate is based on only 1 case, it represents a positive start. Applicants should consider the 978-day median as they plan their strategy for Art Unit 1600.
