We all know that some art units are more difficult than others, so just knowing which art unit your application will be assigned to can give you better insight. In-depth art unit insight including knowing your chances of ending up with a fast, medium or slow examiner in that art unit.  Knowing the likelihood of if, and when, your patent application will be granted. But perhaps even more importantly, knowing why  your application was assigned to that art unit, allows you to potentially redraft your application to increase your chances of being assigned to a different art unit.

The art unit to which an application is assigned can have a significant impact on the prosecution impact – for better or worse.
