This examiner grants 75% of resolved cases

Analysis

Barry W. Taylor is an examiner in Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 2617, with 965 resolved cases. The examiner's allowance rate_pct is 75.1. The median_days_to_allowance for these cases is 932. These figures provide a solid and predictable chance of success over an efficient duration.

The interview lift_pct is 4.7, indicating that interviews provide a modest benefit to applicants. This 4.7 percent increase in the likelihood of allowance suggests that while interviews are helpful, many applications are successful through written prosecution alone. With 965 resolved cases, this metric is a reliable indicator of the examiner's approach. The 932 median_days_to_allowance serves as a key benchmark for timing.

The 932 median_days_to_allowance and 75.1 allowance rate_pct provide a stable foundation for prosecution planning. Practitioners should consider the 4.7 interview lift_pct as a useful tool to address specific rejections. These figures from Art Unit 2617 help in setting realistic goals for both the outcome and the duration of patent applications under this examiner's review.
