Examiner: RHODES-VIVOUR, TEMILADE S

Analysis

Temilade S. Rhodes-Vivour, an examiner in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 2858, has managed 823 resolved cases. Her allowance rate of 88.7% is exceptionally high, indicating that a majority of the applications she resolves result in a grant. This metric suggests a very favorable environment for applicants seeking to secure patent rights in her technical area within Tech Center 3600.

The median days to allowance for her cases is 923, which provides a predictable timeline for the prosecution process. The data also includes an interview lift of 7.6%. Although this lift is modest, it is applied to an already high 88.7% baseline, suggesting that while interviews are helpful, they may not be as critical as in dockets with lower initial allowance rates.

For the 823 resolved cases on record, the combination of an 88.7% allowance rate and a 923-day median duration points toward an effective prosecution process. Practitioners should focus on maintaining the quality of their applications to take advantage of this path. The 7.6% interview lift remains a tool for resolving specific issues, but the overall data suggests a high probability of success.
