Examiner: SINGLETARY, MICHAEL J

Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2857 2863

This examiner grants 84% of resolved cases

Analysis

Michael J. Singletary has resolved 123 cases in Art Unit 2857. The 83.7% allowance rate is high, indicating a very favorable environment for applicants in Tech Center 2800. This rate suggests that the vast majority of applications will be successful when appearing before this examiner.

The median days to allowance is 1054, which is a typical timeline for reaching a grant. An interview lift pct of 6.0% suggests that interviews are less critical here than with other examiners, as the base allowance rate is already quite high. While an interview can still be helpful, many cases appear to reach allowance through the standard written prosecution process. Practitioners can expect a relatively smooth and predictable experience with a high probability of success. The data reflects a consistent and applicant-friendly approach to examination that does not strictly require personal engagement to achieve a positive result.
