Examiner: JOHNSON, WILLIAM DONALD

Analysis

William Donald Johnson is assigned to Art Unit 3612 in Tech Center 3600. The data shows 1 resolved case, which resulted in an allowance rate of 100.0 percent. This indicates that the single application handled by this examiner reached allowance. While this is a positive result, the limited sample size of 1 case means that these figures may not reflect long-term statistical trends for this examiner.

The interview lift is 0.0 percent. This indicates that the single resolved case was allowed without the need for an interview. This suggests that the examiner may be open to granting patents based on written prosecution alone when the application meets the necessary requirements. However, the 0.0 percent lift does not preclude the potential benefits of interviews in more complex future cases as more data becomes available.

The median days to allowance is 658. This pendency provides an initial benchmark for how quickly an application might move through the process. A timeline of 658 days is relatively efficient. Practitioners can use this 658 day figure and the 100.0 percent allowance rate as preliminary indicators of the examiner's workflow, while remaining prepared for variations as more cases are resolved in this art unit.
