Analysis

Brian Thomas Misiura is an examiner in Tech Center 4100, specifically assigned to Art Unit 2111. His professional history includes 879 resolved cases, providing a substantial dataset for evaluating his examination patterns. This volume of work suggests a consistent approach to patent applications within his technical domain.

The examiner demonstrates an allowance rate of 85.4 percent. This statistic indicates a high probability of success for applicants whose cases are assigned to his docket. However, the interview lift is only 1.9 percent, which shows that verbal communication with the examiner provides a very small increase in the likelihood of allowance compared to the 85.4 percent base rate. Practitioners may find that written arguments are just as effective as oral interviews in Art Unit 2111.

The median days to allowance for this examiner is 838. This timeframe offers a benchmark for applicants to estimate the duration of the prosecution process from filing to grant. Given the high allowance rate and the minimal impact of interviews, the data suggests that well-structured initial applications are the primary driver of efficient outcomes.
