Tech Center 4100 • Art Units: 3645 4100
This examiner grants 10% of resolved cases
Robert William Vasquez Jr. works in Art Unit 3645 of Tech Center 4100, with 21 resolved cases. The allowance rate is very low at 9.5%, and the median days to allowance is 1526. This indicates an extremely difficult and slow prosecution process for the 21 resolved cases. Applicants face a very high probability of rejection, and the few successful cases take a significant amount of time to reach a grant.
The interview lift is 7.1%, which provides only a minor improvement to the 9.5% baseline. This suggests that interviews have a limited impact on the overall success rate and may not be enough to overcome the examiner's strict standards. With only 21 resolved cases, the data shows that neither standard prosecution nor interviews are particularly effective at securing an allowance. The 1526-day median pendency further highlights the significant challenges of working with this examiner. Practitioners should be prepared for a long and difficult path to grant and may need to consider alternative strategies, such as early appeal or extensive claim amendments, to improve their chances in Art Unit 3645.
