Analysis

Eric A. Myers is an examiner in Tech Center 2400, specifically working within Art Unit 2414. With 510 resolved cases, his data provides a robust sample for analyzing prosecution trends. His allowance rate of 81.4 percent suggests a high likelihood of success for applications that reach a final resolution under his supervision. This 81.4 percent rate indicates a relatively accessible path to grant for most practitioners.

The impact of interviews is a key consideration for strategy in Art Unit 2414. Myers shows an interview lift of 8.4 percent. This positive lift demonstrates that direct communication with the examiner generally improves the chances of allowance, although the 8.4 percent increase is not as dramatic as seen with some other examiners. Practitioners should still consider interviews as a useful tool to clarify issues and move cases forward.

Timing is another critical factor, as the median days to allowance for Myers is 954. This 954-day median provides a clear expectation for the duration of the prosecution process from filing to grant. When compared to the 510 resolved cases, this timeline suggests a consistent pace of examination. Applicants should plan for a process lasting approximately 954 days when their applications are assigned to this examiner.
