This examiner grants 40% of resolved cases
Examiner Boris Gorney has resolved 205 cases in Tech Center 2400, maintaining an allowance rate of 40.0 percent. The prosecution process is notably long, with a median days to allowance of 1735. Walmart Apollo LLC is a primary applicant navigating this extended timeline in Art Unit 2132. This 1735-day median suggests that applicants must be prepared for a prosecution cycle that lasts nearly five years.
An interview lift of 17.0 percent suggests that direct engagement can help improve the 40.0 percent allowance rate. For firms like Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, this lift provides a strategic option to address the examiner's concerns and potentially shorten the 1735-day median pendency. The 17.0 percent lift indicates that the examiner is receptive to oral arguments, which may be necessary to overcome the low baseline allowance rate. Practitioners should consider interviews as a standard part of their strategy to navigate this challenging and slow-moving docket.
