Examiner: JOHNSON, CEDRIC D

Analysis

Cedric D. Johnson is an examiner in Art Unit 2123 within Tech Center 3700. He has handled 667 resolved cases, maintaining an allowance rate of 81.9 percent. This high rate indicates a favorable environment for applicants, where the vast majority of applications are granted. The examiner's experience with 667 cases suggests a consistent and predictable approach to patent examination.

The interview lift is 22.8 percent. This lift provides a significant boost to the already high 81.9 percent allowance rate. It suggests that even in a high-allowance environment, direct communication remains an effective way to secure a patent. Practitioners can use interviews to resolve any remaining technical hurdles and ensure that the 81.9 percent probability of success is fully realized.

The median days to allowance is 1110. This pendency is moderate, especially given the high volume of 667 resolved cases. Applicants can expect a relatively predictable process with a high probability of success within approximately 1110 days. The combination of an 81.9 percent allowance rate and a 22.8 percent interview lift makes this a very approachable prosecution environment.
