Examiner: GARCIA MIZE, KARLYANNIE MARIE

Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3685 3698

This examiner grants 35% of resolved cases

Analysis

Karlyannie Marie Garcia Mize, working in Art Unit 3685, has resolved 48 cases with an allowance rate of 35.4 percent. This rate is relatively low, indicating a more challenging examination process in Tech Center 3600. The median days to allowance is 1094, suggesting a timeline of about three years for successful cases. The interview lift is a substantial 30.4 percent.

This is a critical data point, as it suggests that interviews are highly effective at overcoming the examiner's initial rejections. Given the 35.4 percent allowance rate, an interview could be the most important step in securing a patent grant. Practitioners should be prepared for a rigorous review, as shown by the 35.4 percent allowance rate. However, the 30.4 percent interview lift and 1094 day pendency offer a clear strategy: use interviews to bridge the gap between the initial filing and a successful allowance. With 48 cases resolved, the 1094 day median is a useful benchmark for planning.
