Examiner: FABIAN-KOVACS, ARPAD

Analysis

Arpad Fabian-Kovacs serves in Tech Center 4100 and Art Unit 3671, having overseen 1877 resolved cases. The examiner maintains an allowance rate of 84.9 percent, which reflects the frequency of successful outcomes for applicants. This 84.9 percent rate is established across the volume of 1877 resolved cases, providing a clear indicator of prosecution results in this technical area.

The impact of interviews is reflected in an interview lift of 3.1 percent. This 3.1 percent increase suggests that the probability of allowance does not shift significantly following such meetings. Applicants in Art Unit 3671 may find that written arguments are already effective given the existing allowance rate. The data indicates that the primary path to success is through the initial application and subsequent written amendments.

The median time to allowance is 712 days. This 712-day timeline represents the duration from filing to patent issuance for successful applications. The data provides a view of the pace within Tech Center 4100, where applications reach a resolution in this median timeframe. Practitioners can use this 712-day benchmark to estimate the total duration of the patent acquisition process.
