Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 3633 3634 3635 3754
This examiner grants 73% of resolved cases
Kyle Walraed-Sullivan has handled 949 resolved cases in Art Unit 3633 of Tech Center 3700. The examiner's allowance rate of 73.3 percent suggests a generally accessible path to patent issuance. This 73.3 percent rate indicates that the examiner is fair and consistent, allowing nearly three-quarters of the applications they review after the necessary technical requirements are met.
Efficiency is high, with a median days to allowance of 782. This 782 day timeline is quite fast, allowing applicants to secure their patent rights in a relatively short period. Furthermore, the interview lift of 30.4 percent shows that verbal communication is a powerful tool for applicants, significantly improving the likelihood of a successful outcome. This 30.4 percent lift is a strong reason to prioritize interviews.
By combining the 73.3 percent allowance rate with the 30.4 percent lift from an interview, practitioners can maximize their chances of success. The 782 day median suggests that this examiner is very efficient, and an interview can further streamline the process. Applicants should consider an early interview as a standard strategy to maintain this high level of efficiency and ensure a grant.
