This examiner grants 48% of resolved cases
Alex A. Rolland, in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 1712, has 614 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 47.9 percent, and the median days to allowance is 1367. These metrics indicate a prosecution environment with a success rate of less than half and a wait of nearly four years. This is a difficult path for applicants in the mechanical and chemical engineering sectors and requires careful planning.
The interview lift is 26.6 percent, suggesting that an interview is a tool for improving the 47.9 percent base rate. Practitioners should prepare for a 1367-day median timeline and should use interviews as a tactic to overcome the examiner's objections. For the 614 resolved cases, the data shows that direct communication is a tool for navigating the complexities of Art Unit 1712. While the baseline success rate is 47.9 percent, the lift from interviews provides a path to improving the odds of a grant. In Tech Center 3700, a strategy that combines written arguments with proactive verbal advocacy is useful for success under this examiner.
