This examiner grants 62% of resolved cases
Christopher J. Uhlir operates within Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 2832, where he has managed 867 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 61.9%, which suggests a more rigorous examination environment than some of his peers. This rate serves as a baseline for applicants to gauge the difficulty of obtaining a grant in this art unit. The 867 cases provide a significant sample size for evaluating these prosecution trends.
The median days to allowance for this examiner is 1153, indicating a longer-than-average duration for the patent process. However, the data also shows an interview lift of 9.7%, which provides a measurable benefit for those who choose to engage the examiner directly. This positive lift can be a crucial tool for overcoming rejections and moving toward the 61.9% allowance rate. The 1153-day median pendency is a vital metric for managing client expectations regarding the timeline for success.
Strategically, practitioners should consider the 9.7% interview lift as a way to expedite the 1153-day prosecution cycle. While the 61.9% allowance rate indicates that success is not guaranteed, the 867 resolved cases show that persistent advocacy can lead to a grant. Direct communication may help clarify technical issues that would otherwise prolong the process. This profile offers a clear roadmap for navigating the challenges of Art Unit 2832.
