This examiner grants 27% of resolved cases
Kevin R. Kruer serves as an examiner in Art Unit 1746 within Tech Center 3700. The examiner has 811 resolved cases with an allowance rate of 26.8 percent. This low rate indicates a highly challenging environment for applicants, where the vast majority of cases do not result in a grant. The 811 resolved cases provide a robust statistical basis for evaluating the examiner's rigorous approach to patentability.
The data reveals an interview lift of 29.7 percent, which is significant given the low baseline allowance rate. This 29.7 percent lift suggests that verbal communication can improve the odds of reaching an agreement. The median days to allowance is 1532, reflecting a very long prosecution cycle. Practitioners should be prepared for the 1532-day median and should consider scheduling interviews to overcome the 26.8 percent allowance probability. The impact of direct engagement is a key factor for those navigating the difficult prosecution path in this specific art unit.
