This examiner grants 60% of resolved cases
Werner G. Garner is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3714. Garner has handled 786 resolved cases, with an allowance rate of 59.7 percent. This 59.7 percent allowance rate indicates the frequency of applications reaching a final disposition under his review that are granted. The 786 resolved cases provide a substantial data set for understanding the examiner's typical outcomes and procedural pace.
The impact of examiner interviews is significant in Garner's profile. The data shows an interview lift of 24.7 percent, indicating that direct communication greatly improves the chances of obtaining a grant compared to cases without an interview. This 24.7 percent lift suggests that practitioners should actively seek interviews to resolve issues and clarify claim scope. In Art Unit 3714, an interview appears to be a highly effective tool for moving a case toward allowance.
The median time to allowance is 1164 days. This 1164 day period is the typical duration from filing to patent issuance for successful applications. This 1164 day median indicates a moderate prosecution cycle, which applicants should account for in their strategic planning. With 786 resolved cases, this timing metric is a well-established benchmark for pendency expectations.
