Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3623 3624 3625 3683
This examiner grants 15% of resolved cases
Kristin Elizabeth Gavin examines cases in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3623. With 171 resolved cases, the allowance rate is 14.6%, which is quite low and indicates a challenging environment for patent applicants. This restrictive rate suggests that the majority of applications do not reach a grant, requiring a robust prosecution strategy.
The interview lift is 16.6%, suggesting that direct engagement with the examiner is a critical strategy. Given the low overall allowance rate, an interview may be one of the most effective ways to navigate the examiner's requirements and find a path toward allowable subject matter. Oral advocacy can help clarify issues that may be difficult to resolve through written correspondence alone.
The median days to allowance is 1231. This timeline reflects a lengthy prosecution process, which is common in Art Unit 3623 when coupled with a low allowance rate. Practitioners should prepare for a multi-year cycle and consider interviews as a primary tool for improving the chances of success.
