Tech Center 2400 • Art Units: 2481
This examiner grants 43% of resolved cases
Michael J. Hess operates in Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2481. The examiner has 434 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 43.3%. This rate indicates a challenging prosecution environment, as many applications do not result in a grant. The median days to allowance is 1323, which is a relatively long timeline for reaching issuance from filing.
The interview lift is 6.5%. This 6.5% lift is positive but modest, suggesting that interviews only slightly improve the probability of overcoming the 43.3% allowance rate. Practitioners should be prepared for a rigorous examination process and a 1323-day wait for a final resolution. The 434 resolved cases provide a reliable statistical basis for these expectations in Art Unit 2481.
In Tech Center 2400, the 43.3% allowance rate and 1323-day median pendency are the primary factors for strategic planning. The 6.5% interview lift suggests that while verbal communication is a tool, it may not be as decisive as in other dockets. Attorneys should focus on strong written advocacy to improve the 43.3% odds of success for their clients.
