Analysis

Natalie NMN Iannuzo examines applications in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1653. The examiner has 40 resolved cases, with an allowance rate of 12.5 percent. This rate serves as a baseline for applicants to understand the likelihood of a grant. The median days to allowance is 1227, which indicates the time typically required to reach a final allowance under this examiner's review.

The interview lift is 71.4 percent, which is a substantial figure compared to the 12.5 percent allowance rate. This lift suggests that applications involving an interview are much more likely to be allowed than those that do not. Given the 1227-day median pendency, practitioners should consider the 71.4 percent lift as a critical component of their prosecution strategy. In Art Unit 1653, the 40 resolved cases highlight that while the 12.5 percent allowance rate is low, direct engagement with the examiner can significantly improve the chances of success.
