Examiner: RETEBO, METASEBIA T

Analysis

Metasebia T. Retebo is an examiner in Tech Center 2800, working within Art Unit 2836, with 664 resolved cases. Her allowance rate of 89.5% is exceptionally high, indicating that a majority of the applications she resolves are granted. This metric suggests a very favorable environment for applicants seeking to secure patent rights in her technical area.

The efficiency of her docket is further highlighted by a median days to allowance of 682, which is a relatively short timeline for reaching a grant. The data also includes an interview lift of 5.3%. Although this lift is modest, it is applied to an already high 89.5% baseline, suggesting that while interviews are helpful, they may not be as critical as in dockets with lower initial allowance rates.

For the 664 resolved cases on record, the combination of an 89.5% allowance rate and a 682-day median duration points toward a streamlined prosecution process. Practitioners should focus on maintaining the quality of their applications to take advantage of this efficient path. The 5.3% interview lift remains a tool for resolving specific issues, but the overall data suggests a high probability of success.
