This examiner grants 82% of resolved cases
Michael C. Krofcheck is an examiner in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2138. The examiner has 664 resolved cases, maintaining an allowance rate of 81.5 percent. This rate suggests a generally favorable environment for applicants, with a consistent pattern of granting patents. The 664 resolved cases provide a robust dataset for practitioners to evaluate the examiner's historical performance and prosecution style in this art unit.
The median days to allowance is 1007, which serves as a benchmark for the expected duration of the prosecution process. The data also indicates an interview lift of 17.0 percent. This 17.0 percent lift shows that direct communication with the examiner can provide a measurable advantage in reaching an allowance. While the 81.5 percent allowance rate is already high, the additional benefit of an interview can help resolve remaining issues more effectively. Practitioners should use the 1007-day median and the interview metrics to inform their strategy and manage client expectations for applications assigned to this examiner.
