Examiner: PRENTY, MARK V

Analysis

Mark V. Prenty, an examiner in Art Unit 2814 and Tech Center 2800, has a high volume of 740 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 91.4 percent, indicating a very high probability of success for applicants. The median days to allowance is 780, showing that the process moves at a steady pace toward issuance. These 740 resolved cases demonstrate a consistent pattern of high allowance and efficient processing.

The interview lift for this examiner is 2.1 percent. Because the baseline success rate of 91.4 percent is already high, the lift is relatively small, suggesting that interviews provide only a minor statistical advantage. With the current volume of resolved cases, the data indicates that the examiner's standard practices in Art Unit 2814 are generally favorable to applicants. The 780-day median pendency provides a reliable expectation for the duration of the patent acquisition process. The high allowance rate is the primary driver of outcomes, with interviews offering a slight additional benefit.
