This examiner grants 87% of resolved cases
Maurice L. McDowell, Jr. is an examiner in Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 2612. Across 936 resolved cases, he maintains an allowance rate of 86.6 percent. This figure suggests that a vast majority of applications reaching a final resolution under his review result in a patent grant. However, the prosecution process requires patience, as the median days to allowance is 1067.
The data also highlights the utility of examiner interviews. McDowell shows an interview lift of 12.9 percent, which provides a measurable benefit for applicants seeking to clarify technical points or resolve outstanding rejections. While the baseline allowance rate of 86.6 percent is already high, utilizing interviews can further enhance the probability of success. Practitioners managing any of the 936 resolved cases or future filings in Art Unit 2612 should consider this lift when planning their prosecution strategy to manage the 1067-day median timeline effectively.
