Analysis

Christopher A. Revak is an active examiner in Tech Center 2400, working in Art Unit 2131, with 1119 resolved cases. His allowance rate of 89.2% is exceptionally high, suggesting that he is very likely to grant patents for the applications he examines. This large volume of cases provides a reliable statistical profile of a favorable prosecution environment.

The median days to allowance for his cases is 964, offering a predictable timeline for applicants seeking a grant. The data also shows an interview lift of 8.8%. While the 89.2% baseline allowance rate is already very high, this lift indicates that an interview can still provide a boost to the chances of success, potentially smoothing the path to allowance even further.

For practitioners, the 1119 resolved cases demonstrate a clear and consistent pattern of high allowance. The 964-day median duration is a reasonable expectation for pendency. Given the 8.8% interview lift, applicants should weigh the benefits of an interview against the already high probability of success. The data suggests that Art Unit 2131 is a productive environment for securing patent rights.
