Tech Center 1600 • Art Units: 1617 1655
This examiner grants 75% of resolved cases
Robert Franklin Spaine examines applications in Tech Center 1600 and Art Unit 1617. With only 8 resolved cases, the data pool is limited but shows a high allowance rate of 75.0%. This rate suggests a favorable outlook for applicants, although the median days to allowance of 1014 indicates that the process still requires significant time. The small number of resolutions means that individual case outcomes have a large impact on these percentages.
The interview lift of 0.0% is a critical data point. It indicates that interviews have not historically improved the 75.0% allowance rate for this examiner. For practitioners, this suggests that written arguments or amendments might be more effective than verbal consultations when navigating Art Unit 1617. The 1014 days to allowance remains the primary benchmark for timeline expectations in these 8 resolved cases. Given the 75.0% allowance rate, the lack of lift suggests that cases are typically allowed on their merits or rejected despite verbal discussion. Applicants should prioritize clear written advocacy to maintain the high probability of success.
