This examiner grants 72% of resolved cases
Andrew Peter Restaino, operating in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3771, has a record of 284 resolved cases. His allowance rate of 72.5% indicates a generally receptive approach to patent applications. This metric suggests that a majority of the cases he resolves result in an allowance, providing a positive outlook for applicants during the initial stages of prosecution.
The median days to allowance is 1027, which serves as a standard measure of the time required to reach a grant. A notable feature of his data is the interview lift of 39.5%. This figure shows that the probability of success increases significantly when practitioners engage in an interview, offering a clear path to improve upon the 72.5% baseline allowance rate.
With 284 resolved cases, the examiner's 39.5% interview lift is a statistically relevant factor for strategy development. The 1027-day median duration can be managed more effectively by utilizing the lift associated with direct communication. Applicants should prioritize interviews to navigate Art Unit 3771, as the data suggests this examiner is open to resolving issues through verbal discussion.
