Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3661
This examiner grants 88% of resolved cases
Ana D. Thomas is assigned to Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3661, with a history of 419 resolved cases. She exhibits a high allowance rate of 87.8, making her one of the more accessible examiners in her unit. The median days to allowance for her cases is 899, which is a consistent timeline for the 419 resolved cases under her review. This high rate of success provides a positive outlook for new filings.
The interview lift of 6.7 indicates a modest benefit from direct engagement. While the 87.8 allowance rate is already high, practitioners may still find value in interviews to clarify technical points. The 899 days to allowance suggests that the prosecution process is steady, and the high volume of successful outcomes among the 419 resolved cases supports a streamlined approach. Given the 6.7 interview lift, applicants should focus on clear initial documentation while keeping the interview as a secondary option for resolving minor issues in Tech Center 3600.
