Analysis

Matiyas T. Maru has resolved 59 cases in Art Unit 2141, resulting in an allowance rate of 61.0%. This rate provides a baseline for applicants working within Tech Center 3700. The prosecution process under this examiner is notably long, with a median days to allowance of 1513. This 1513-day timeline suggests that practitioners should prepare their clients for a multi-year engagement. With 59 resolved cases, the data provides a moderate sample of examiner behavior.

The interview lift is 5.9%, indicating a slight benefit to engaging in direct communication. While the 5.9% lift is positive, it is a relatively small increase over the 61.0% baseline. Practitioners can use these metrics to set realistic expectations for both the probability of success and the time required to reach a resolution. Strategy should focus on early resolution to avoid the extended 1513-day path.

In Art Unit 2141, the 61.0% allowance rate is the primary benchmark for success. The 1513-day median pendency is one of the longer durations observed in Tech Center 3700. Direct interviews, while offering a 5.9% lift, may be part of a broader effort to expedite the process. Applicants should weigh the 1513-day timeline against the moderate probability of allowance when deciding on prosecution tactics.
