Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2852 2862 2872
This examiner grants 82% of resolved cases
Leon W. Rhodes, Jr. is an examiner in Tech Center 2800, working in Art Unit 2852, with 913 resolved cases. His allowance rate of 82.4% is high, suggesting that he frequently finds applications to be patentable. This robust dataset of 913 cases provides a high degree of confidence in the examiner's established patterns and favorable disposition toward granting patent rights.
The median days to allowance is 803, indicating a relatively swift path to grant. The data also shows an interview lift of 11.6%. While the baseline allowance rate of 82.4% is already strong, this lift indicates that an interview can still provide a meaningful boost to the chances of success, potentially resolving minor issues more quickly through direct communication.
For practitioners, the 913 resolved cases highlight a consistent and efficient examination process. The 803-day median duration is a positive sign for those seeking timely patent protection. Given the 11.6% interview lift, applicants should consider whether the additional effort of an interview is necessary, though it remains a viable option to further improve the already high probability of allowance in Art Unit 2852.
