Examiner: MORALES, PEDRO JESUS

Tech Center 4100 • Art Units: 2124 4100

This examiner grants 62% of resolved cases

Analysis

Pedro Jesus Morales works in Tech Center 4100 and Art Unit 2124, with 13 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 61.5 percent. This 61.5 percent rate indicates a moderate success rate for applicants, though the sample size of 13 cases should be noted. Practitioners can expect a fair examination process with a reasonable chance of a grant based on this initial data.

The interview lift is a significant 55.6 percent. This 55.6 percent lift suggests that interviews are extremely effective in moving cases toward allowance with this examiner. Even with only 13 cases resolved, the high lift is a strong signal that practitioners should prioritize verbal communication. The 61.5 percent allowance rate is likely to be much higher for those who engage in an interview.

The median days to allowance is 1351. This 1351-day timeline is quite long, indicating a slow path to patent issuance. Applicants should prepare for a lengthy prosecution cycle. Given the 1351-day median pendency, leveraging the 55.6 percent interview lift early on is a critical strategy to avoid further delays and capitalize on the examiner's receptiveness to direct discussion.
