Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 1726 2876 2887
This examiner grants 64% of resolved cases
Daniel I. Walsh has resolved 803 cases in Art Unit 1726 of Tech Center 2800. The examiner's allowance rate is 64.3 percent, indicating a moderate level of difficulty for applicants during the prosecution process. This 64.3 percent rate suggests that while grants are common, the examiner requires clear and convincing evidence to overcome rejections and move an application toward issuance.
The median days to allowance is 1143, which is a standard timeline for reaching a final grant in this tech center. An interview lift of 12.0 percent suggests that direct interaction with the examiner provides a helpful, though not transformative, boost to the probability of securing an allowance. This 12.0 percent lift indicates that verbal discussion can be a useful tool for resolving technical disagreements.
Practitioners should use the 1143 day median to manage expectations and consider an interview if they face persistent rejections. While the 64.3 percent allowance rate is solid, the 12.0 percent lift shows that an interview can still provide a meaningful advantage. A well-prepared written record combined with strategic verbal engagement is the best approach for navigating this examiner's docket.
