Analysis

Kayla Renee Doros works in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3657. She has 35 resolved cases, with an allowance rate of 74.3%. This 74.3% rate suggests a favorable outlook for applicants in this unit. With nearly three-quarters of the 35 cases resulting in an allowance, the examiner appears open to granting patent claims. Practitioners can use the 74.3% figure to assess their chances.

The median days to allowance is 914. This 914-day timeline indicates that the path to a grant takes a specific amount of time. A median of 914 days is a standard duration for Tech Center 3700, but practitioners should still plan for this process. The 914-day figure provides a useful estimate for budgeting and strategy in Art Unit 3657.

The interview lift is 7.1%. While the 74.3% base allowance rate is already strong, the 7.1% lift shows that an interview can provide a further advantage. This 7.1% increase suggests that direct communication helps resolve remaining issues. Practitioners should consider the 7.1% lift as a reason to engage the examiner, especially if the initial probability of success is not met through written responses alone.
