Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3663
This examiner grants 27% of resolved cases
Torrence S Marunda II serves in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3663, handling a docket of 59 resolved cases. The examiner maintains a low allowance rate of 27.1 percent, which indicates a rigorous examination process. Applicants should prepare for a lengthy prosecution cycle, as the median days to allowance stands at 1277. This 27.1 percent allowance rate suggests that many applications may face final rejections or abandonment.
Despite the challenging allowance rate, the data highlights a significant interview lift of 31.8 percent. This figure suggests that personal interviews are a highly effective tool for advancing prosecution and increasing the likelihood of a grant. Given the 59 resolved cases, the impact of interviews is a prominent feature of the examiner's profile. Practitioners facing rejections may find that the 31.8 percent lift justifies the additional effort of scheduling a formal discussion to address the examiner's concerns. Navigating the 1277-day timeline requires a proactive strategy to improve the success rate.
