Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 2855 3665
This examiner grants 68% of resolved cases
Minato Lee Horner works within Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 2855. The examiner has a small sample size of 22 resolved cases. Despite the limited data, the allowance rate is 68.2 percent. This suggests a generally favorable outlook for applications, though the small case count warrants caution. The interview lift is relatively low at 4.8 percent. This indicates that while interviews are helpful, they do not provide a dramatic boost.
The median days to allowance of 937 provides a baseline for the expected duration of the patenting process. The 68.2 percent allowance rate is the primary metric for applicants to consider in Art Unit 2855. The 937-day median pendency suggests a standard timeline for Tech Center 3600. With only 22 cases resolved, practitioners should monitor this examiner's future resolutions for more definitive trends. The 4.8 percent lift suggests that written arguments may be as effective as oral communication in this specific context. Strategic planning should account for the 937-day median when managing client expectations.
