Tech Center 1700 • Art Units: 1754 1779
This examiner grants 36% of resolved cases
William Addison Geisbert examines cases in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1754. With 25 resolved cases, the examiner has an allowance rate of 36.0%, showing a challenging environment for applicants. This low rate indicates that more than half of the applications do not reach a grant, requiring practitioners to be well-prepared for potential rejections.
The interview lift is 46.4%, which is a very high figure. This suggests that interviews are an extremely effective tool for overcoming rejections and significantly improving the odds of an allowance with this examiner. The substantial lift indicates that direct communication can help clarify complex issues and move the application toward a grant more effectively than written correspondence alone.
The median days to allowance is 1242. This timeline indicates a standard prosecution duration for the tech center, requiring over three years to reach a final resolution. The combination of a low allowance rate and a high interview lift suggests that while the process is difficult, oral advocacy is a critical strategy for success.
