This examiner grants 67% of resolved cases
Examiner Sean D. Mattson is part of Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3737. He has resolved 375 cases, with an allowance rate of 67.2%. This figure indicates that more than two-thirds of the applications he resolves result in a patent grant. The median days to allowance for these cases is 1220, providing a standard timeline for successful prosecution.
A key metric for this examiner is the interview lift of 42.2%. This high percentage demonstrates that conducting an interview is an exceptionally effective tactic for securing an allowance. Practitioners should consider the 67.2% base allowance rate as a strong starting point, but the 42.2% lift makes direct engagement a primary recommendation. The 1220-day median pendency offers a clear expectation for the duration of the process when a grant is achieved.
