This examiner grants 82% of resolved cases
Mark A. Connolly has handled 856 resolved cases within Tech Center 3700. His work in Art Unit 2115 includes an allowance rate of 82.0 percent. This statistic is a key metric for practitioners to use when assessing the probability of success and for developing a comprehensive prosecution strategy for their clients.
The median days to allowance for this examiner is 984. This duration is a significant consideration for managing the expectations of stakeholders regarding the timeline for patent issuance. A timeframe of 984 days provides a clear benchmark for the time and resources required to navigate the examination process.
The interview lift for this examiner is 9.2 percent. This indicates that conducting an interview with the examiner correlates with an increase in the likelihood of allowance beyond the standard 82.0 percent rate. While the lift is 9.2 percent, practitioners must decide if this improvement justifies the resources required for an interview based on the specific needs of their patent application.
