This examiner grants 65% of resolved cases
Catharine L. Anderson, in Art Unit 3700 within Tech Center 4100, has resolved 1100 cases. The allowance rate is 65.3%, and the median days to allowance is 1367. This reflects a moderate allowance rate and a long pendency for successful applications. The 1367-day median timeline is a significant factor for practitioners to manage when prosecuting cases before this examiner.
The interview lift is 20.9%, suggesting that interviews are an effective way to improve outcomes. This lift can help practitioners navigate the 65.3% allowance rate by providing an opportunity for direct engagement. With 1100 resolved cases, the data provides a very robust baseline for these statistics. Practitioners should consider the 20.9% lift as a strategic tool to address rejections and potentially move the 1367-day process toward a grant. The 65.3% allowance rate indicates that while success is common, it requires careful navigation.
