This examiner grants 65% of resolved cases
Matthew D. Krcha is an examiner in Art Unit 1758 within Tech Center 1700. The examiner has handled 566 resolved cases, resulting in an allowance rate of 64.7 percent. This rate provides a baseline for the likelihood of securing a patent grant during prosecution. The 566 resolved cases offer a robust statistical foundation for understanding the examiner's approach to patentability and claim scope.
The data highlights a significant interview lift of 35.3 percent. This 35.3 percent increase in the probability of allowance following an interview suggests that direct engagement is a highly productive method for resolving examiner objections. The median days to allowance is 1188, which represents the time required to reach a final grant for these cases. Practitioners should factor the 1188-day median into their long-term planning. Given the 64.7 percent allowance rate and the substantial lift provided by interviews, scheduling a meeting with the examiner appears to be a critical tactical decision for improving prosecution efficiency.
