Examiner: MCDANIEL, TYNESE V

Analysis

Tynese V. McDaniel serves in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2859. With 372 resolved cases, the examiner has an allowance rate of 58.6%. This rate indicates a moderately favorable environment where more than half of the applications result in a grant. Practitioners can expect a fair examination process, though the 58.6% allowance rate still requires clear technical arguments to overcome potential rejections in Art Unit 2859.

The interview lift is 16.9%, suggesting that interviews are a helpful tactic for resolving issues. An interview provides a meaningful increase in the likelihood of allowance beyond the 58.6% baseline. The median days to allowance is 1230, which is a standard duration for the prosecution process. This 1230-day timeline is consistent and predictable for planning purposes. For practitioners, the combination of a 58.6% allowance rate and a 16.9% 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 372 resolved cases reflect a well-established examination style in Tech Center 2800.
