Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3613 3648 3665
This examiner grants 52% of resolved cases
Richard Edwin Geist, an examiner in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3613, has 25 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 52.0%, showing a balanced distribution between grants and abandonments. This moderate rate suggests that applicants have an even chance of success, depending on the strength of their claims and the effectiveness of their prosecution strategy.
Interviews appear to be a highly beneficial tactic, as evidenced by an interview lift of 27.4%. This suggests that direct communication can help clarify issues and move the application toward a grant more effectively than written correspondence alone. Practitioners should consider scheduling an interview early in the process to resolve potential misunderstandings.
The median days to allowance is 1007. This duration is typical for the tech center, representing a standard timeframe for patent prosecution of approximately three years. The combination of a moderate allowance rate and a strong interview lift indicates that active engagement with the examiner is a productive path toward securing patent rights.
