Analysis

Ryu-Sung Peter Weinmann is an examiner in Tech Center 2800, specifically Art Unit 2859. His historical data includes 29 resolved cases. The allowance rate for Weinmann is 51.7 percent, which indicates a balanced prosecution environment where roughly half of the applications result in a patent grant.

The interview lift for Weinmann is 14.9 percent. This positive lift suggests that direct communication is a beneficial strategy for applicants. By conducting an interview, the probability of allowance increases significantly above the baseline 51.7 percent rate. Practitioners should consider this 14.9 percent lift as a tactical reason to engage the examiner directly during the prosecution of the 29 resolved cases analyzed.

The median days to allowance is 1277. This duration represents the typical time required to reach a successful resolution in Art Unit 2859. While the 51.7 percent allowance rate is moderate, the 1277-day median suggests that prosecution can be a lengthy process. The data indicates that while success is achievable, it often requires a significant time investment and can be aided by the 14.9 percent lift provided by interviews before Weinmann.
