Examiner: MOODY, KYLE J

Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2838

This examiner grants 90% of resolved cases

Analysis

Kyle J. Moody is an examiner in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2838. He has 565 resolved cases, resulting in a high allowance rate of 90.4 percent. This 90.4 percent rate indicates a very efficient path to patent grant. The median days to allowance is 752, which is relatively fast.

The interview lift for this examiner is 7.9 percent. While the 7.9 percent lift is positive, its impact is limited by the already high 90.4 percent allowance rate. Practitioners may find that interviews are less critical here than with other examiners, though they still provide a 7.9 percent benefit. The 752-day median pendency is a key factor for applicants in Art Unit 2838.

With 565 resolved cases, the examiner's data is robust and consistent. The 90.4 percent allowance rate and 752-day timeline suggest that most applications move quickly toward a favorable resolution. The 7.9 percent interview lift remains a secondary but useful tool for the small percentage of cases that face initial difficulties.
