This examiner grants 64% of resolved cases
LEONARD, MICHAEL L is assigned to Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1692. The profile records 1359 resolved cases, a 63.7% allowance rate, and an 8.3% interview lift. The median time to allowance is 1147 days. The substantial case record provides a broad basis for interpreting the allowance measure, while the interview figure indicates a limited reported change associated with interviews.
The listed companies are Arkema France, BASF SE, and Covestro AG. The listed firms are OLIFF PLC, THE WEBB LAW FIRM, P.C., and Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP (DC). Counsel may emphasize written claim strategy and careful prior-art analysis, using interviews selectively where a focused discussion can clarify an issue. The allowance rate shows that successful outcomes occur within the record, but the median timing figure calls for planning around a prolonged prosecution cycle.
