James Ryan McGinnity is an examiner in Art Unit 1711, which is associated with Tech Center 3700. He has 116 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 60.3%. This indicates that a majority of applications result in a patent grant. The median days to allowance for these successful cases is 1248.
The interview lift is notably high at 49.8%. This figure suggests that conducting an interview significantly improves the chances of success compared to the 60.3% baseline. This 49.8% lift is a critical data point for practitioners deciding whether to request a formal discussion with the examiner.
The 116 resolved cases provide a solid foundation for these statistics. The 1248 days to allowance gives a clear expectation for the duration of the prosecution process. Given the 60.3% allowance rate, the 49.8% lift from interviews is a highly significant factor for achieving a positive outcome in Tech Center 3700.
