Examiner: SANTOS, MELISSA ADRIANE

Analysis

Melissa Adriane Santos operates in Tech Center 2900 and Art Unit 2921, where she has 125 resolved cases. Her allowance rate is high at 95.2 percent. This suggests that nearly all applications assigned to her eventually result in a patent grant. The 125 resolved cases provide a strong data set for this conclusion.

The interview lift is 6.5 percent, which is a metric for practitioners to consider. This indicates that while interviews still provide a benefit, the 6.5 percent lift is small compared to the 95.2 percent allowance rate. Practitioners in Art Unit 2921 may find that applications often proceed to allowance without the need for extensive verbal negotiation.

The median days to allowance is 602, reflecting a relatively efficient prosecution timeline. This 602 day figure is a key benchmark for applicants planning their intellectual property strategy in Tech Center 2900. With the high allowance rate, the primary focus for practitioners may be managing the timeline rather than overcoming significant hurdles to grant.
