Examiner: ORLANDO, AMBER ROSE

Analysis

Amber Rose Orlando serves in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1700, managing a portfolio of 671 resolved cases. The allowance rate stands at 63.9%, offering a moderate probability of success for patent applications. With a median days to allowance of 1074, the prosecution timeline is a standard duration for this tech center. Practitioners should prepare for a process that spans 1074 days while keeping the 63.9% success rate in mind during initial filings.

The interview lift of 28.7% is a significant data point for strategy development. This 28.7% increase suggests that applicants who engage in interviews are more likely to secure an allowance than those who do not. Given the 671 resolved cases, this lift demonstrates that the examiner is responsive to verbal advocacy and clarification. Utilizing an interview can effectively bridge the gap between the 63.9% baseline and a successful grant, potentially mitigating some of the 1074 days spent in prosecution within Art Unit 1700.
