This examiner grants 63% of resolved cases
Dwayne K. Handy serves as an examiner in Art Unit 1758 within Tech Center 1700. The examiner has 754 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 62.6 percent. This dataset provides a clear view of the prosecution landscape for applications in this chemical or materials science technology area. The 62.6 percent rate suggests a favorable path to grant for many applications reaching a final disposition.
The median time to allowance for these cases is 1321 days. This duration is a critical factor for practitioners to consider when planning their patent strategy and managing client expectations for the duration of the prosecution process. The 1321-day figure represents the middle point of the pendency for successful applications. It serves as a useful benchmark for estimating how long a typical case might remain under review before reaching a final disposition in Art Unit 1758.
The data shows an interview lift of 25.0 percent. This indicates that conducting an interview is an effective way to increase the probability of an allowance. For the 754 cases resolved, the 25.0 percent lift suggests that direct engagement with the examiner can help overcome hurdles and move applications toward a grant. Practitioners should consider a formal interview as a key tactic to improve the baseline allowance rate.
