Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3623 3625 3683
This examiner grants 23% of resolved cases
Darlene Garcia-Guerra is an examiner in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3623. She has managed 541 resolved cases, which have an allowance rate of 23.3 percent. This 23.3 percent allowance rate indicates that a minority of applications reach a grant under her review. With 541 resolved cases, the data suggests a challenging environment for obtaining a patent grant.
The impact of examiner interviews is significant in Garcia-Guerra's profile. The data shows an interview lift of 34.3 percent, indicating that direct communication greatly improves the chances of obtaining a grant compared to cases without an interview. This 34.3 percent lift suggests that practitioners should actively seek interviews to resolve issues and clarify claim scope. In Art Unit 3623, an interview appears to be a highly effective tool for moving a case toward allowance, given the low baseline rate of 23.3 percent.
The median time to allowance is 1536 days. This 1536 day period is the typical duration from filing to patent issuance for successful applications. This 1536 day median indicates a long prosecution cycle, which applicants should account for in their strategic planning. With 541 resolved cases, this timing metric is a well-established benchmark for pendency expectations.
