Marla D. McConnell presents a challenging environment in Tech Center 1700, with an allowance rate of 26.5 percent. This figure, based on 257 resolved cases, indicates that the majority of applications do not reach allowance. The median days to allowance is 1319, which is relatively long and suggests a protracted prosecution process. However, the interview lift of 38.8 percent is very high, suggesting that direct communication with the examiner is a highly effective way to improve the odds of success.
Top companies such as Samsung Display Co., Ltd. and Kia Corporation are among the primary applicants in her docket. Legal representation is frequently provided by firms like Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP (WA) and Womble Bond Dickinson US LLP.

The 257 resolved cases show that while the path is difficult, the interview process is a critical tool for practitioners in Art Unit 1700.
