Examiner: TRAYWICK, ANDREW PRESTON

Analysis

Andrew Preston Traywick is an examiner in Art Unit 1737 within Tech Center 4100. He has overseen 127 resolved cases, resulting in an allowance rate of 71.7%. This rate indicates a generally accessible path to allowance for applications under his review. However, the median days to allowance of 1152 suggests that the prosecution process may be lengthy and requires a sustained effort from applicants.

The data shows an interview lift pct of 27.3%, which provides a clear incentive for practitioners to engage in direct dialogue with the examiner. For the applications resolved, the examiner has established a predictable pattern where interviews significantly improve the chances of a grant. The 71.7% allowance rate serves as a positive baseline for applicants in Tech Center 4100, provided they are prepared for the timeline.

Counsel should account for the 1152 days median timeline when setting client expectations for their applications. While the 27.3% interview lift pct is a valuable tool for overcoming obstacles, the overall volume of 127 resolved cases suggests a focused but thorough examination style. Navigating Art Unit 1737 with this examiner involves balancing the high allowance probability against the extended pendency to achieve a successful outcome.
