This examiner grants 83% of resolved cases
Levi Gannon is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 2116. He has managed a large volume of 1513 resolved cases, with an allowance rate of 82.7 percent. This 82.7 percent allowance rate indicates a high probability of success for applications assigned to his docket. The 1513 resolved cases provide a very strong statistical basis for evaluating his examination patterns.
The data shows an interview lift of 7.1 percent. This 7.1 percent lift suggests that conducting an interview with Gannon provides a modest benefit in increasing the chances of allowance compared to cases without an interview. While the 82.7 percent allowance rate is already high, the 7.1 percent lift indicates that direct communication can still be a helpful tool for resolving remaining issues. Practitioners should consider the value of an interview in the context of this examiner's overall efficiency.
The median time to allowance is 746 days. This 746 day period is the typical duration for an application to move from filing to a grant. This 746 day median suggests a relatively fast prosecution cycle compared to other examiners. Applicants in Art Unit 2116 can use this metric to forecast their pendency and plan their intellectual property budgets accordingly.
