Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 3753 3763
This examiner grants 64% of resolved cases
Samba NMN Gaye works in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3753, with 159 resolved cases. The examiner's allowance rate is 63.5%, which is a moderate rate that suggests a fair chance of success for applicants. This rate indicates that more than half of the applications are eventually granted under this examiner's review.
The interview lift is 34.9%, which is a very high figure. This indicates that interviews are an extremely powerful tool for applicants to use when working with this examiner to secure an allowance. The substantial lift suggests that oral advocacy is far more effective than written correspondence alone in resolving issues and moving the application toward a grant.
The median days to allowance is 1049. This duration is consistent with other examiners in the same tech center, representing a typical timeframe for patent prosecution of approximately three years. The combination of a moderate allowance rate and an exceptionally high interview lift makes oral advocacy a critical strategy for success.
