Listed by the USPTO as ESONU, VICTOR CHIGOZIRIM
Tech Center 4100 • Art Units: 3629 4100
This examiner grants 14% of resolved cases
Victor Chigozirim Esonu serves as an examiner in Art Unit 3629 of Tech Center 4100. Across 7 resolved cases, the examiner maintains an allowance rate of 14.3 percent. This low rate suggests a difficult path for applicants seeking patent protection in this docket. The interview lift is 0.0 percent, indicating that interviews have not statistically improved the chances of allowance beyond the 14.3 percent baseline. Practitioners should carefully evaluate their claims before proceeding, as the data shows a high rate of rejection.
The median days to allowance for cases that do succeed is 1006. Major companies like Toyota Motor Corporation, Mastercard International Incorporated, and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology are listed among the top applicants. Firms such as HAUPTMAN HAM, LLP, SUGHRUE MION, PLLC, and AGORA LAW GROUP, PLLC have represented clients in these matters. While the 7 resolved cases represent a small sample, the 14.3 percent allowance rate and 1006 median days to allowance provide a sobering outlook for prosecution in Art Unit 3629. Strategy should focus on robust initial filings given the 0.0 percent interview lift.
