Analysis

Brandi N Thomas serves in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2484. The examiner has an allowance rate of 82.6% across 1118 resolved cases. This volume of experience suggests a consistent approach to patent examination. The median days to allowance is 1035, which establishes a timeline for applicants seeking a grant in this unit.

The interview lift for this examiner is 7.8%. While this is a positive increase, the 82.6% baseline allowance rate suggests that many applications are successful through written prosecution alone. However, the 7.8% lift still offers an advantage for cases facing specific rejections. Practitioners should weigh the 1035-day median pendency against the 82.6% success rate when advising on expectations. The 1118 resolved cases provide statistical reliability for these metrics, indicating the environment for patent applicants in Art Unit 2484.
