Tech Center 2900 • Art Units: 2915 2918

This examiner grants 95% of resolved cases

Analysis

UNDERWOOD, CYNTHIA R has 806 resolved cases in tech center 2900 and art unit 2915. The allowance rate is 94.8%, while the interview lift is 3.0%. The median time to allowance is 582 days. The allowance figure dominates the profile, and the small interview lift indicates that interviews add relatively little to an already strong allowance outcome in this record.

The recorded company is Eagle Industrial Group Inc., and the leading firm is Definitive Patents, member Synchrony IP. The 582-day median gives applicants a more defined timing consideration than the allowance result alone. Counsel may therefore focus on efficient claim presentation and early issue resolution, while recognizing that the available interview association is limited.
