Analysis

Tyler J. Wiegand is an examiner in Art Unit 2812 of Tech Center 2800. He has resolved 104 cases, providing a reliable dataset for analysis. His allowance rate is 74.0 percent, which indicates that a strong majority of the applications he reviews result in a patent grant. This 74.0 percent rate suggests a generally successful path for applicants in his docket.

A notable feature of this profile is the interview lift of 12.5 percent. This positive lift value indicates that conducting an interview is an effective strategy for increasing the probability of allowance. Practitioners should consider scheduling an interview to leverage this 12.5 percent lift, as it represents a meaningful advantage over standard written prosecution. The 104 resolved cases highlight the impact of direct communication.

The median time to allowance is 1256 days. This 1256-day timeframe is relatively long, and practitioners should prepare their clients for a multi-year prosecution cycle. By considering the 74.0 percent allowance rate alongside the 1256-day median, attorneys can provide their clients with a realistic outlook. These data points define the current examination landscape in Tech Center 2800.
