Tech Center 1700 • Art Units: 1758 1763 1798
This examiner grants 81% of resolved cases
Alex Ramirez serves in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1758. The examiner has resolved 137 cases with an allowance rate of 81.0 percent. This suggests a favorable environment for patent applicants. The median days to allowance is 1217, which provides a benchmark for the expected duration of successful prosecution. These 137 resolved cases establish a consistent performance profile for the examiner.
The data also shows an interview lift of 21.0 percent. Even with a baseline allowance rate of 81.0 percent, the interview lift indicates that direct discussion remains a tool for resolving outstanding issues. For the 137 cases handled, the combination of the grant rate and positive interview impact suggests that clear communication can effectively navigate the 1217-day median timeline. Practitioners should consider the 21.0 percent lift when deciding whether to engage the examiner directly in Art Unit 1758.
