Tech Center 1600 • Art Units: 1611 1614
This examiner grants 20% of resolved cases
Karen A. Ketcham, in Tech Center 1600 and Art Unit 1611, has resolved 55 cases. Her allowance rate is low at 20.0%, and the median days to allowance is 1276. This indicates a very challenging prosecution environment with a low probability of success and a long wait for a final decision.
However, the interview lift of 38.8% is significant. This suggests that while the baseline 20.0% allowance rate is low, an interview can substantially improve the chances of obtaining a patent. For the 55 cases resolved, practitioners should prioritize interviews to navigate the 1276-day median timeline and increase their odds of success. The data indicates that direct communication is essential for overcoming the high level of difficulty in this docket.
