Examiner: RENWICK, REGINALD A

Analysis

Reginald A. Renwick serves as a USPTO patent examiner in Tech Center 3700, specifically assigned to Art Unit 2499. Throughout his tenure, he has reached a conclusion on 719 resolved cases. His current allowance rate of 70.2% suggests that a majority of applications reaching a final disposition under his review result in a grant. This figure provides a primary indicator of the examiner's general disposition toward patentability within his specific technical field.

The timeline for these successful outcomes is characterized by a median days to allowance of 1122. This duration represents the middle point of the prosecution cycle for granted applications, offering a data point for applicants to manage expectations regarding pendency. When considering procedural strategies, the interview lift of 9.7% is a critical metric. This percentage represents the increase in the likelihood of allowance when an interview is conducted compared to the initial baseline.

Practitioners should evaluate the 9.7% interview lift as a tool for overcoming potential impasses. Although the 70.2% allowance rate is relatively high, the 1122-day median wait suggests that early intervention through interviews might be beneficial. By analyzing the 719 resolved cases, it becomes clear that while the path to allowance is statistically likely, the process requires navigating a timeline exceeding the median duration.
