This examiner grants 47% of resolved cases

Analysis

Amber Altschul Misiaszek has 624 resolved cases in Art Unit 3624. Her allowance rate is 47.0 percent, which is a moderate rate for Tech Center 3600. This baseline reflects the challenges of obtaining a patent in this specific technical area.

The interview lift of 24.5 percent is a significant factor. It suggests that interviews are a very effective tool for improving the 47.0 percent allowance rate. This 24.5 percent lift indicates that Misiaszek is open to discussing claim amendments and technical arguments in person.

The median days to allowance is 1491. This long duration for 624 resolved cases indicates a difficult and slow prosecution process. The 1491 day median is a critical factor for applicants to consider when managing their expectations for pendency in Art Unit 3624.
