Tech Center 1700 • Art Units: 1771 1772 1774 1779 1797
This examiner grants 74% of resolved cases
Renee E. Robinson handles cases in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1771, with 1055 resolved cases. Her allowance rate is 73.6 percent, and the median days to allowance is 1012. These figures suggest a steady prosecution path for applicants in this art unit, with a timeline that typically exceeds two and a half years. The 1055 resolved cases provide a degree of statistical reliability for these metrics and help practitioners set expectations for their clients.
The interview lift of 24.2 percent is a notable metric. This indicates that an interview is an effective tool for increasing the 73.6 percent allowance rate. For the 1055 resolved cases, the data supports the use of direct communication to overcome rejections and potentially shorten the 1012-day median wait for a patent grant. Practitioners should consider scheduling an interview early in the prosecution cycle to clarify the examiner's position. This approach is effective in Tech Center 1700, where the examiner demonstrates a receptivity to verbal negotiation and technical discussion in Art Unit 1771.
