Examiner: RIBADENEYRA, THEODORE C

Analysis

Theodore C. Ribadeneyra, an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3745, has overseen 425 resolved cases. His allowance rate of 89.2% is exceptionally high, indicating a favorable environment for patent applicants. This rate suggests that a majority of the applications he resolves result in a grant, providing a strong statistical basis for a positive outcome during the prosecution process.

The efficiency of his docket is further highlighted by a median days to allowance of 791, which is a relatively short timeframe for reaching a grant. The data also reveals an interview lift of 9.2%. This figure shows that conducting an interview can further improve the chances of allowance beyond the 89.2% baseline, offering a useful tactic for resolving any specific issues that may arise during the examination of an application.

For the 425 resolved cases, the 9.2% interview lift represents a meaningful strategic option. The 791-day median duration is a positive indicator for timely prosecution. Practitioners should view the high 89.2% allowance rate as a primary indicator of success, while using interviews as a supplementary tool to ensure a path to grant in Art Unit 3745.
