Analysis

Connor Jon Rotondi is an examiner associated with Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 1736. The current data set includes 3 resolved cases, which is a small sample size for evaluating long-term trends. Within this limited group of filings, the allowance rate is 0.0 percent, meaning none of the cases have yet resulted in a grant.

The interview lift is also recorded at 0.0 percent. This figure suggests that for the 3 resolved cases, conducting an interview did not change the outcome. Practitioners should monitor this statistic as the examiner handles more cases, as the current lift may not reflect future performance as the sample size grows beyond the initial count of resolved cases.

The median days to allowance is 1059. This timing provides a benchmark for how long applications remain pending before a final resolution is reached in Art Unit 1736. Because the allowance rate is 0.0 percent, the 1059 day median likely reflects the time taken to reach an abandonment or other non-allowance resolution. Applicants should approach this examiner with a strategy focused on overcoming the initial success rate.
