This examiner grants 80% of resolved cases
Kelah Janae McFarland-Barnes works in Art Unit 2431 of Tech Center 2400. With 10 resolved cases, the data shows an allowance rate of 80.0%. This high rate indicates that the vast majority of applications in this small sample have proceeded to issuance. The median days to allowance for these successful cases is 1148.
The interview lift is recorded at 8.3%, suggesting that verbal communication provides a modest increase in the probability of a grant over the 80.0% baseline. Given the 10 resolved cases, the statistics reflect early trends in the examiner's career or current docket. The 1148 days to allowance provides a specific timeframe for applicants to expect when pursuing a patent.
In Tech Center 2400, this examiner's 80.0% allowance rate is a primary indicator of prosecution success. The 8.3% lift from interviews, while smaller than other metrics, still points toward a benefit for direct engagement.
