This examiner grants 75% of resolved cases
Mario M. Velez-Lopez is an examiner in Art Unit 2115 within Tech Center 3700. The examiner has a record of 425 resolved cases. The data shows an allowance rate of 74.6% for these applications. This 74.6% rate provides a baseline for applicants to evaluate the probability of success when their cases are assigned to this examiner. The 425 resolved cases indicate the examiner's history of examination within this technical area.
The median days to allowance for successful cases is 1065. This 1065-day figure represents the typical timeline for the prosecution process from filing to grant. An important metric in this profile is the 4.9% interview lift. This 4.9% lift shows that the likelihood of an allowance increases slightly when an interview is conducted with the examiner. Practitioners should note that the 4.9% lift is smaller than the 74.6% base allowance rate, suggesting that the written record is the primary driver of success. The 1065-day median pendency and the 74.6% allowance rate are key factors for strategic planning. By leveraging the 4.9% interview lift, applicants may still find value in verbal discussion.
