Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2815 2859
This examiner grants 42% of resolved cases
Examiner Culbert presents a challenging path in Art Unit 2815, with an allowance rate of 42.2% across 348 resolved cases. This suggests a rigorous examination process in Tech Center 2800. The median days to allowance of 1330 further highlights the difficulty, showing a very long timeline. These metrics, based on 348 resolved cases, indicate that securing a patent requires both persistence and a high level of technical justification.
The interview lift of 7.7% shows a modest benefit to engaging in direct discussion. While the 42.2% allowance rate is low, an interview can provide some momentum for more complex cases. For the 348 resolved cases, the data suggests that applicants should be prepared for a long and difficult prosecution process, using interviews as among several tools to improve their chances of success. Practitioners should use the 7.7% lift to address specific technical rejections, though the 1330-day median pendency remains a significant hurdle. A strategy focusing on both rigorous written responses and targeted interviews is recommended to navigate this examiner's high standards.
