This examiner grants 52% of resolved cases
Kristina Rose Fulton has resolved 314 cases in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3673. Her allowance rate is 52.5%, and the median time to allowance is 1260 days. Her docket is dominated by toy and game companies like Bandai Co., Ltd., Tomy Company, Ltd., and Epoch Company, Ltd. The 52.5% allowance rate indicates a rigorous examination environment where just over half of the applications result in a grant.
The interview lift of 36.0% is very high, suggesting that interviews are an exceptionally effective tool for improving the 52.5% allowance rate. This 36.0% lift over the 52.5% baseline is a significant figure, indicating that the examiner is highly responsive to direct negotiation. Firms such as FAEGRE DRINKER BIDDLE & REATH LLP, IP Business Solutions, LLC, and Paratus Law Group, PLLC are active in this unit, managing the 1260-day median timeline.
Given the 1260-day median pendency and the 52.5% allowance rate, applicants should prioritize an interview early in the process. The 36.0% lift suggests that the examiner is highly receptive to verbal arguments and technical clarifications. For applicants in the toy and consumer product sectors, engaging the examiner directly appears to be the most effective way to navigate the rigorous examination process and secure a patent within the 1260-day timeframe.
