Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3628
This examiner grants 29% of resolved cases
Stephanie Shoshana Wallick has resolved 41 cases in Art Unit 3628 of Tech Center 3600. The allowance rate of 29.3 percent is quite low, indicating a challenging environment for applicants to secure a patent grant. This 29.3 percent rate suggests that the examiner maintains a very high bar for patentability and that many applications may face final rejections or abandonments.
Despite the low allowance rate, the median days to allowance is relatively short at 850. This 850 day timeline indicates that when a grant is achieved, it happens fairly quickly. The interview lift of 37.6 percent is significant, suggesting that direct communication is a vital strategy for overcoming the examiner's high rejection rate and improving the chances of a successful outcome.
With a 29.3 percent baseline, the 37.6 percent lift from an interview is one of the most important tools available to practitioners. Engaging the examiner directly can help clarify technical points and potentially find a path to allowance that is not apparent in the written record. Given the 850 day median, an early interview is highly recommended to navigate this difficult docket efficiently.
