Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 3735 3791
This examiner grants 32% of resolved cases
Michael Anthony Catina works in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3735. He has 543 resolved cases with an allowance rate of 31.5 percent. This low rate indicates a challenging environment for securing patent grants. The 543 resolved cases provide a strong statistical basis for evaluating the examiner's rigorous approach to patentability.
The interview lift for this examiner is 30.3 percent. This is a substantial lift, indicating that interviews are effective at moving cases toward allowance. Practitioners should prioritize direct communication to leverage this 30.3 percent lift. The data implies that verbal discussion is a successful method for resolving issues that might otherwise lead to a rejection, increasing the baseline 31.5 percent probability.
The median days to allowance is 1705. This is a very long timeline for reaching a grant. The 1705-day figure, combined with the 31.5 percent allowance rate, reflects a prosecution path that requires extensive time and persistence. Applicants should use the 30.3 percent lift to help navigate this 1705-day period and improve their chances of success.
