Examiner: MORAN, EDWARD JOHN

Analysis

Edward John Moran is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3732, with 648 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 41.8 percent, which suggests a more challenging prosecution environment. This 41.8 percent rate indicates that practitioners must be prepared for rigorous rejections. The 648 resolved cases provide a stable statistical basis for this profile.

However, the interview lift is a very high 61.1 percent. This 61.1 percent lift is a critical data point, showing that interviews are exceptionally effective at overcoming obstacles with this examiner. Practitioners should make interviews a standard part of their strategy, as the 41.8 percent baseline allowance rate is dramatically improved by verbal communication. The examiner appears to be very responsive to direct dialogue.

The median days to allowance is 1280. This 1280-day timeline is quite long, reflecting the challenges indicated by the 41.8 percent allowance rate. Applicants should plan for a prosecution cycle that reaches this duration. Given the 1280-day median pendency, the 61.1 percent interview lift is the most important tool for practitioners to use to reach a successful conclusion more efficiently.
