Examiner: ESQUIVEL, DENISE LYNNE

Analysis

Denise Lynne Esquivel, based in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 2872, has overseen 91 resolved cases. The allowance rate is high at 84.6 percent, which suggests a favorable disposition toward granting patents and a potentially smoother path for applicants. The median days to allowance is 939, indicating a standard prosecution timeframe that is consistent with expectations for this tech center.

The interview lift of 6.1 percent provides a small additional benefit to the already high 84.6 percent allowance rate. This suggests that while interviews are helpful for resolving minor issues, the examiner is generally inclined toward allowance regardless of verbal engagement. For the 91 resolved cases, the 939-day median pendency is a key metric for applicant planning. The 6.1 percent lift indicates that while an interview is not a requirement for success, it can still be a useful tool for finalizing the 84.6 percent of cases that reach allowance.
