Tech Center 1600 • Art Units: 1652 1699
This examiner grants 61% of resolved cases
Todd Matthew Epstein examines cases in Tech Center 1600 and Art Unit 1652, with 563 resolved cases. He has an allowance rate of 60.9 percent. The median time to allowance for these cases is 1008 days. This 1008 days figure provides a clear expectation for the duration of successful prosecution under this examiner's review.
The interview lift is 43.4 percent, which is quite high. This suggests that interviews are exceptionally helpful in moving cases toward a grant. For the 563 cases in this profile, the 43.4 percent lift indicates that direct communication is a highly successful strategy for overcoming examiner objections. Practitioners should use the 60.9 percent allowance rate as a baseline and consider the 43.4 percent lift as a primary tool for securing an allowance. The 1008 days median pendency is a manageable timeline that can be further optimized through effective oral advocacy.
