This examiner grants 15% of resolved cases
Errol A. Carvalho serves in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3621. He has 282 resolved cases with an allowance rate of 15.2 percent. This low rate indicates a challenging environment for securing patent grants. Practitioners should be prepared for a rigorous examination process where a small minority of applications reach an allowance.
The interview lift for this examiner is 18.3 percent. While the baseline allowance rate is low at 15.2 percent, the lift suggests that interviews do provide a statistical advantage. Practitioners should use every tool available, including direct communication, to improve their chances. The 18.3 percent lift indicates that verbal discussion can help in overcoming rejections that might otherwise be difficult to resolve.
The median days to allowance is 1444. This is a long timeline for reaching a grant. The 1444-day figure, combined with the 15.2 percent allowance rate, reflects a prosecution path that requires significant time and effort. Applicants should manage their expectations regarding both the 1444-day duration and the low probability of success when appearing before this examiner.
