Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3627 3687
This examiner grants 48% of resolved cases
Examiner Crawley presents a challenging environment in Art Unit 3627, with an allowance rate of 48.4% across 850 resolved cases. This rate is below the average for many units in Tech Center 3600, indicating a more rigorous examination. The median days to allowance of 1322 also points to a very long prosecution process. With 850 resolved cases, these statistics provide a robust and sobering outlook for applicants in this transportation and e-commerce sector.
Despite these challenges, the interview lift of 25.3% offers a significant strategic advantage. This high lift suggests that for the 850 resolved cases, an interview was a very effective way to move toward an allowance. Given the 48.4% allowance rate and 1322-day median pendency, an interview should be a central part of any prosecution strategy. The 25.3% lift is a clear signal that the examiner is highly responsive to verbal arguments and collaborative problem-solving. Utilizing this tool is essential for any applicant hoping to secure a patent in this rigorous art unit and navigate the long 1322-day timeline.
