Tech Center 1700 • Art Units: 1773 1797
This examiner grants 32% of resolved cases
Eric J. McCullough examines applications in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1773. Based on 406 resolved cases, the examiner has an allowance rate of 31.8%. This is a relatively low rate, indicating a challenging prosecution environment where many applications do not reach issuance. Practitioners should be prepared for a rigorous examination process and multiple rounds of rejection in Art Unit 1773.
However, the interview lift is 43.4%, which is a very high figure. This suggests that while the baseline allowance rate is 31.8%, the likelihood of success increases dramatically when an interview is conducted. The median days to allowance for successful cases is 1417. This 1417-day duration reflects a longer prosecution cycle, which is consistent with the lower allowance rate. For practitioners, the 43.4% interview lift is the most critical strategic takeaway. Direct negotiation appears to be the most effective way to overcome the challenges posed by the 31.8% allowance rate and navigate the 1417-day median pendency. With 406 resolved cases, this data provides a clear tactical recommendation for Tech Center 1700.
