This examiner grants 54% of resolved cases
Kara Marie Richter serves in Tech Center 4100 and Art Unit 2871, where she has 22 resolved cases. Her allowance rate of 54.5 percent indicates a balanced environment where just over half of the applications result in a grant. This 54.5 percent rate suggests that success is achievable through careful prosecution and strong technical arguments.
The data highlights a substantial interview lift of 32.9 percent. This 32.9 percent boost in allowance probability is a strong indicator that direct dialogue with the examiner is highly effective. With 22 resolved cases, this lift suggests that an interview can be a decisive factor in moving an application from a rejection to an allowance.
The median days to allowance for her docket is 1447. This 1447 day timeline is relatively long, requiring a sustained effort from practitioners. By leveraging the 32.9 percent interview lift, applicants may be able to more effectively navigate the 1447 day process and improve their odds beyond the 54.5 percent baseline allowance rate.
