This examiner grants 83% of resolved cases
Michael W. Justice, working in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 2178, demonstrates a high allowance rate of 83.0 percent across 459 resolved cases. This rate suggests a favorable environment for applicants, where most applications eventually reach grant. The efficiency of this process is further evidenced by a median days to allowance of 949 days, which establishes the typical timeline for successful prosecution.
The interview lift of 16.9 percent indicates that personal engagement with the examiner provides a meaningful boost to the probability of success. Given the 83.0 percent baseline, an interview can be a decisive factor in resolving outstanding issues quickly. Practitioners should leverage this 16.9 percent lift to further compress the 949-day median timeline. The substantial volume of 459 resolved cases provides a reliable statistical foundation for these prosecution strategies in Art Unit 2178. This combination of high success rates and efficient timelines makes for a productive environment for patent applicants.
