Examiner: SICONOLFI, ROBERT

Analysis

Robert Siconolfi is an examiner within Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3616. With 62 resolved cases, the examiner maintains an allowance rate of 38.7 percent. This 38.7 percent allowance rate indicates the proportion of applications that reach a grant under this examiner's review. Practitioners should note that 62 resolved cases form the basis for these performance metrics.

The data indicates that interviews are a tool for overcoming rejections. Siconolfi shows an interview lift of 20.8 percent, which provides a path for practitioners to improve their chances of success. This 20.8 percent lift suggests that direct communication often resolves outstanding issues that written responses might not address as effectively. When compared to the base allowance rate, the lift represents a measurable increase in the probability of a grant.

The timeline for reaching an allowance is 1480 days. This median days to allowance stands as a benchmark for the 62 cases resolved. This 1480-day duration reflects the time required for the examination process to reach a final resolution. Practitioners should account for this median when setting expectations for the prosecution timeline in Art Unit 3616.
