This examiner grants 32% of resolved cases
Steven William Bailey, an examiner in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 1671, has 79 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 31.6%, and the median days to allowance is 1541. These metrics indicate a rigorous and slow prosecution process, with pendency often reaching a lengthy period.
The interview lift is 15.2% compared to the 31.6% baseline, which provides a significant relative improvement. This suggests that while the examiner is rigorous, interviews can help move cases forward and resolve rejections. Given the 1541-day median pendency, practitioners should be prepared for a long struggle and should use interviews as a key tactic to overcome the 31.6% allowance rate. With 79 resolved cases, the data shows that obtaining a grant is difficult, but the 15.2% lift offers a path to success for those who engage directly with the examiner. Persistence and verbal communication are essential for navigating this docket and its 1541-day timeline.
