This examiner grants 53% of resolved cases
Emmett K. Walsh has overseen 471 resolved cases in Art Unit 2896 of Tech Center 3600. The examiner's allowance rate of 52.7 percent suggests a more rigorous examination environment where about half of the applications are granted. This 52.7 percent rate indicates that applicants must be prepared for a thorough review and potentially multiple rounds of rejections before reaching an allowance.
The median days to allowance is 1156, providing a clear benchmark for the expected duration of the prosecution process. Practitioners should consider the interview lift of 20.3 percent, which indicates that direct engagement is a productive strategy for improving the chances of a favorable resolution. This 20.3 percent lift is a significant factor that can help overcome the challenges of the 52.7 percent baseline.
Given the 1156 day median, an interview can be a critical tool for resolving issues more quickly and increasing the probability of success. The 20.3 percent lift suggests that verbal communication is effective at clarifying technical points that may be misunderstood in the written record. Applicants should prioritize interviews to navigate this examiner's docket more effectively and secure a patent grant.
