This examiner grants 47% of resolved cases

Analysis

Morgan J Mcclure is an examiner in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3673. He has 465 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 47.1 percent. This rate indicates a challenging environment where fewer than half of the applications reach a grant. The median days to allowance is 1108, which serves as a benchmark for the expected duration of successful prosecution.

The interview lift is 32.2 percent. This high lift indicates that interviews are a very effective tool for moving cases toward allowance compared to the 47.1 percent baseline. For practitioners, the 32.2 percent lift suggests that direct communication is a powerful strategy for overcoming rejections with this examiner. Given the 1108 days to allowance, an interview should be considered a primary tactic to improve the odds of success and potentially navigate the hurdles presented by the baseline allowance rate.
