Examiner: MCCULLEY, MEGAN CASSANDRA

Analysis

Megan Cassandra McCulley serves in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1767. With 749 resolved cases, the examiner has an allowance rate of 58.3%. This rate indicates a moderately favorable environment where more than half of the applications result in a grant. The examiner's extensive experience across 749 cases provides a reliable baseline for practitioners working in Art Unit 1767.

The interview lift is 16.2%, suggesting that direct communication is a helpful tactic for resolving issues. An interview provides a meaningful increase in the likelihood of allowance beyond the 58.3% baseline. The median days to allowance is 1244, which is a standard duration for the prosecution process. This 1244-day timeline is consistent and predictable for planning purposes. For practitioners, the combination of a 58.3% allowance rate and a 16.2% interview lift suggests that while many cases proceed to allowance through written responses, an interview can be a valuable tool for overcoming more difficult rejections. The 749 resolved cases reflect a well-established examination style in Tech Center 1700.
