Analysis

Justin W. Rider serves in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2400, where he has 265 resolved cases. His allowance rate of 84.2 percent is high, suggesting a favorable environment for patent applicants. This 84.2 percent rate indicates that the examiner is generally receptive to the merits of the applications he reviews.

The median days to allowance for his cases is 1265. This 1265 day timeframe provides a clear expectation for the duration of the prosecution process. With 265 resolved cases, the data shows a consistent pattern of reaching resolutions within this 1265 day window while maintaining a high level of grants.

An interview lift of 12.1 percent is also available to practitioners. While the 84.2 percent allowance rate is already strong, the 12.1 percent lift suggests that direct communication can further facilitate the path to a grant. In Art Unit 2400, combining the 12.1 percent lift with the 1265 day median pendency can be an effective strategy for securing patent protection.
