Analysis

Joseph R. Maniwang is an examiner in Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2144, where he has overseen 456 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 85.5%, indicating a high frequency of granted patents for applications in his docket. Furthermore, the median days to allowance is 749, suggesting a relatively efficient prosecution cycle compared to examiners with longer pendency periods. This 749-day pendency is a significant advantage for applicants in Art Unit 2144.

Engaging in interviews with Maniwang provides a distinct benefit, as evidenced by an interview lift of 13.8%. This lift indicates that the likelihood of allowance increases when practitioners discuss the merits of the case directly with the examiner. Given the 85.5% baseline allowance rate and the 456 cases resolved, the 13.8% lift underscores the value of personal communication in finalizing the grant of an application. Practitioners should use this 13.8% lift to further improve their 85.5% probability of success.
