Analysis

Matthew Kremer is an examiner in Tech Center 3700, specifically working in Art Unit 3736. The examiner has 461 resolved cases with an allowance rate of 43.6 percent. This rate suggests a more rigorous examination process where less than half of the applications result in a grant. The 461 resolved cases provide a significant sample size for understanding the challenges that may arise during prosecution with this examiner.

The data reveals a very high interview lift of 52.2 percent. This 52.2 percent increase in the likelihood of allowance following an interview suggests that direct communication is essential for success. The median days to allowance is 1512, indicating a lengthy prosecution period. Practitioners should be prepared for the 1512-day median and should prioritize scheduling interviews to overcome the 43.6 percent baseline allowance rate. The substantial impact of the interview lift makes it a primary tool for navigating the complexities of Art Unit 3736 and improving the chances of a favorable outcome.
