This examiner grants 75% of resolved cases
George C. Monikang, an examiner in Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 2614, has resolved 981 cases. His 75.3% allowance rate indicates the frequency of granted patents within his docket. Applicants can expect a median days to allowance of 1113, which establishes a clear expectation for the total time from filing to a successful resolution.
While the 75.3% allowance rate is the primary metric, the interview lift is recorded at 7.1%. This suggests that while interviews are generally helpful, the examiner’s baseline allowance rate is less dependent on verbal interaction than other examiners in the same tech center. With 981 resolved cases, the data provides a robust foundation for understanding his tendencies. Practitioners should focus on high-quality initial filings to align with the 1113-day median pendency, though the 7.1% lift still offers a marginal benefit for complex applications.
