This examiner grants 79% of resolved cases
Teresa M. Ekiert is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3723, where she has managed 1157 resolved cases. This volume of 1157 resolved cases provides a statistical foundation for her profile. Her allowance rate is 79.3 percent, indicating a high probability of success for applications on her docket. This 79.3 percent rate suggests that she frequently identifies allowable subject matter during the examination process.
The interview lift for this examiner is 3.0 percent. While this 3.0 percent lift is modest, it still represents a measurable benefit for practitioners who choose to engage in verbal communication. However, the 79.3 percent baseline suggests that many applications reach an allowance through the written record alone. Practitioners can use this data to determine the most efficient use of their resources in Art Unit 3723.
The median time to reach an allowance is 1045 days. This 1045-day duration serves as a benchmark for estimating the length of the prosecution cycle. The combination of a high allowance rate and a 1045-day median pendency reflects a predictable environment for securing patent rights under her supervision.
