Aaron Kyle McCullers is an examiner in Tech Center 3600, working in Art Unit 2824. Based on 75 resolved cases, the examiner has an allowance rate of 45.3%. This rate suggests a balanced prosecution environment where a significant portion of applications reach issuance. Practitioners should be prepared for a rigorous examination and focus on providing clear, persuasive arguments to improve their chances in Art Unit 2824.
The interview lift is 35.7%, which is a significant positive correlation. This suggests that conducting an interview is a very effective way to move an application toward allowance, as it increases the probability of success substantially. The median days to allowance is 1245, representing a typical duration for the prosecution cycle. This 1245-day timeframe, combined with the 45.3% allowance rate, indicates a standard but challenging path to issuance. For practitioners, the 35.7% interview lift is a key strategic tool. Given the 75 resolved cases, engaging the examiner directly appears to be one of the most reliable ways to navigate the 1245-day median pendency successfully in Tech Center 3600.
