Analysis

KREMER, MATTHEW is assigned to tech center 3700 and art unit 3736. The record contains 461 resolved cases, an allowance rate of 43.6%, an interview lift of 52.2%, and a median of 1512 days to allowance. The interview-associated cases had a higher allowance outcome than the overall record.

TurnCare, Inc., BIONIME Corporation, and Sony Group Corporation are the listed companies. The firms are Knobbe, Martens, Olson & Bear, LLP, COOLEY LLP, and ABM Intellectual Property Inc. The difference between the allowance rate and the positive interview lift makes interview preparation a significant strategic consideration. Practitioners should use discussion to identify the examiner’s key concerns, but should not defer substantive claim and prior-art analysis to the interview. The median timing indicates that applications may require a long prosecution path, which should inform client and portfolio planning.
