Listed by the USPTO as COLIN, CARL G
Tech Center 2400 • Art Units: 2136 2400 2433 2436 2493
This examiner grants 49% of resolved cases
Carl G. Colin examines applications in Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2136, where he has managed 138 resolved cases. The allowance rate of 48.6% indicates a challenging environment for applicants such as Apple Inc. and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. This difficulty is further reflected in the median days to allowance of 1592, suggesting a notably long prosecution timeline for cases that reach a grant.
The data shows a very high interview lift of 53.9%, which is a critical metric for practitioners to consider. While the 48.6% baseline allowance rate is moderate, an interview can provide a substantial increase in the likelihood of success. Firms like BANNER & WITCOFF, LTD and Studebaker Brackett PLLC should prioritize these sessions to navigate the 1592-day median pendency more effectively for clients like Fujifilm Corporation.
For the 138 resolved cases, the 53.9% interview lift highlights the importance of direct examiner engagement. Vista IP Law Group LLP and other firms can use this data to set realistic expectations for their clients. Given the 48.6% allowance rate, a proactive and communicative strategy is essential for any applicant hoping to secure a patent within the 1592-day median timeframe.
