Examiner: GLENN, CHRISTOPHER A.

Analysis

Christopher A. Glenn handles cases in Art Unit 3711 within Tech Center 3700 and has resolved 560 applications. The allowance rate is 40.2%, which indicates a challenging environment where more than half of the cases do not reach allowance. This rate suggests that the examiner frequently issues rejections that lead to abandonment. Practitioners should be prepared for a rigorous examination process that may require significant amendments or persuasive legal arguments to overcome the 40.2% baseline.

However, the interview lift is a significant 36.7%, suggesting that personal engagement with the examiner is highly effective at resolving outstanding issues. This 36.7% lift is one of the more impactful metrics for this examiner, as it shows a clear path to improving the odds of success. The median days to allowance is 949, showing a moderate pace for the 560 cases resolved. Given the high lift, practitioners should prioritize interviews early in the prosecution cycle to navigate the 949-day timeline more effectively. The data indicates that direct communication is a key factor in moving an application toward a grant.
