This examiner grants 50% of resolved cases
Brieann R. Johnston works in Art Unit 1718 within Tech Center 3700. With 1030 resolved cases, she is a highly experienced examiner with an allowance rate of 49.5 percent. This indicates a competitive environment where about half of the applications are allowed. The large volume of 1030 cases suggests the examiner has a well-defined set of standards that applicants must meet to achieve an allowance.
The interview lift is 32.5 percent. This is a significant positive lift, suggesting that interviews are a very effective tool for increasing the 49.5 percent baseline allowance rate. Direct communication is highly recommended to resolve technical issues and clarify claim language. Practitioners should use the 32.5 percent lift to their advantage to move applications toward a successful conclusion more reliably in this art unit.
The median days to allowance is 1048. This is a moderate pendency, especially given the high volume of 1030 cases. Practitioners should use interviews to improve the 49.5 percent odds of success and manage the 1048 day timeline. This proactive strategy can help resolve technical issues more efficiently than relying solely on written responses and may lead to a more favorable outcome.
