Steve Rowland serves in Art Unit 3711 of Tech Center 3700. The examiner has a total of 1082 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 77.9 percent. This high volume of cases and relatively high allowance rate suggest a consistent and predictable examination style that is generally favorable to applicants.

Engaging in direct communication with the examiner can resolve outstanding issues and increase the probability of reaching an allowance, as evidenced by the 17.5 percent lift in success. This suggests that the examiner is open to dialogue and may use interviews to clarify points of contention. Practitioners should consider an interview as a standard part of their prosecution strategy to streamline the process and improve outcomes.
