This examiner grants 18% of resolved cases
Monica A. Mandel works in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3621. She has 326 resolved cases with an allowance rate of 18.1 percent. This low rate indicates a difficult prosecution environment. The median days to allowance is 2090, representing an extended commitment for those who eventually secure a patent.
The interview lift is 8.3 percent, which shows that engaging with the examiner can improve the 18.1 percent allowance rate. However, even with this lift, the overall probability of success remains low. The 2090-day median pendency suggests that applicants must be prepared for a multi-year process to reach a resolution.
Top companies appearing before this examiner include Nchain Licensing AG, American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., and Worldpay LLC. The firm BARLEY SNYDER is also active in this art unit. Given the 18.1 percent allowance rate and the 2090-day median, practitioners should carefully evaluate the cost and time required for prosecution in Art Unit 3621.
