This examiner grants 76% of resolved cases
Lawrence Averick is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3612. He has managed 674 resolved cases with an allowance rate pct of 75.7%. This 75.7% rate indicates that a majority of the applications in his portfolio result in a grant. The median days to allowance for these cases is 1028, which establishes a timeline for practitioners to expect when prosecuting in this art unit. For the 674 resolved cases, this 1028-day period represents the median duration from filing to issuance for successful applications.
The data shows an interview lift pct of 23.9%. This 23.9% lift is an increase in the probability of allowance when an interview is conducted compared to the 75.7% baseline allowance rate. This suggests that direct communication with the examiner is a method for resolving outstanding rejections. Practitioners can use the 23.9% lift to evaluate the impact of an interview, as it correlates with a higher success rate than the baseline. The 1028-day median suggests that such engagement is a part of the process for reaching an allowance in Art Unit 3612.
