Analysis

SILVA-AVINA, EMMANUEL is assigned to Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 2666. The profile shows 83 resolved cases, a 79.5% allowance rate, and an 11.3% interview lift. The allowance rate indicates that allowances are common in the recorded docket, while the interview figure suggests that interviews may provide incremental assistance rather than serving as the primary driver of success. Clear claim drafting and focused written responses should remain central to prosecution planning.

The median time to allowance is 1064 days. Canon Inc., Toyota Motor Corporation, and Fujifilm Corporation are the listed leading companies. The listed firms are OBLON, MCCLELLAND, MAIER & NEUSTADT, L.L.P., Entropy Matters LLC, and Lerner David LLP. Practitioners may use the favorable allowance pattern to frame efficient response strategies, while still addressing each rejection carefully. The timing indicates that applicants should not equate a high allowance rate with a short prosecution path, and should maintain attention to procedural progress.
