Analysis

Thomas A. Gyorfi has overseen 705 resolved cases in Art Unit 2135, which is part of Tech Center 2400. The examiner's allowance rate is 75.6 percent, showing a generally positive outlook for patent applicants. However, the median days to allowance of 1257 indicates that the prosecution process often takes several years to reach a conclusion.

The interview lift of 16.5 percent suggests that direct communication is an effective strategy for increasing the 75.6 percent allowance rate. Top companies like Nchain Licensing AG, Adeia Technologies Inc., and Lenovo (United States) Inc. frequently appear before this examiner. Firms such as BANNER & WITCOFF, LTD, Crowell, and Davis Wright Tremaine LLP: Seattle should consider the 16.5 percent lift when navigating the 1257-day median pendency.

The 705 resolved cases provide a robust dataset for understanding this examiner's tendencies. While the 75.6 percent allowance rate is high, the 1257-day timeline requires patience and persistent advocacy. The 16.5 percent lift indicates that the examiner is open to resolving issues through discussion, which may help manage the long pendency.
