This examiner grants 22% of resolved cases
William A. Brandenburg, an examiner in Tech Center 3600, has resolved 405 cases with a low allowance rate pct of 22.2. This suggests that Art Unit 3600 is a very difficult environment for securing a patent grant. The median days to allowance is 1854, which is an exceptionally long timeframe, indicating that prosecution with this examiner is both challenging and protracted.
The interview lift pct of 23.4 provides a path for improvement for applicants. This figure suggests that while the baseline allowance rate is only 22.2%, an interview can significantly improve the chances of success. Given the 1854-day median timeline, practitioners must be prepared for a long-term commitment and should use the 23.4% lift as a key part of their strategy. The low allowance rate and high pendency make this examiner difficult to navigate without proactive engagement.
