Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 2151 2451 3681
This examiner grants 82% of resolved cases
John B. Walsh has managed 828 resolved cases in Art Unit 2151 of Tech Center 3600. The examiner's allowance rate is 82.4 percent, reflecting a high likelihood of grant for applications in this portfolio. This 82.4 percent rate suggests that the examiner is generally receptive to well-reasoned arguments and that most applications will eventually reach a successful conclusion after addressing any initial rejections.
Prosecution typically reaches a conclusion in a median of 1068 days to allowance. This 1068 day timeline is a standard duration for reaching a final grant. While the interview lift is 8.7 percent, the strong overall allowance rate suggests that the examiner is generally receptive to written arguments and that interviews may only be necessary for more complex or contentious technical issues.
Practitioners should focus on providing clear and comprehensive written responses to take advantage of the 82.4 percent baseline allowance rate. The 8.7 percent lift still offers a benefit, but it is not as transformative as in other dockets. Using the 1068 day median as a guide, applicants can expect a predictable and generally successful prosecution experience with this examiner.
