Analysis

Examiner Anna Pagonakis handles a high volume of matters in Tech Center 6200 and Art Unit 1600, with 952 resolved cases recorded. The allowance rate of 38.4 percent suggests a specific environment for applicants. This 38.4 percent rate reflects the examiner's historical tendency toward rejections or abandonments across the 952 resolved cases.

Prosecution efficiency may be improved through direct engagement, as evidenced by an interview lift pct of 11.7. While an 11.7 percent increase is notable, the primary hurdle remains the 38.4 percent base allowance rate. Applicants should also prepare for a lengthy process, as the median days to allowance is 1105.

The 1105 median days to allowance indicates the typical duration for applications to reach a grant. Given the 952 resolved cases, these metrics are statistically robust for Art Unit 1600. Practitioners can use the 11.7 percent interview lift to justify the resources required for an examiner interview during the 1105 day median pendency in Tech Center 6200.
