This examiner grants 78% of resolved cases
Michael Thomas Walsh has handled 303 resolved cases in Art Unit 3612 of Tech Center 3600. The examiner's allowance rate is 77.6 percent, suggesting a consistent and accessible path to patent issuance. This 77.6 percent rate indicates that the examiner is generally fair and open to finding allowable subject matter when the technical requirements of the application are clearly met.
The median days to allowance is 860, showing a relatively efficient prosecution timeline that is well below the thousand-day mark. An interview lift of 26.5 percent highlights the value of verbal discussion, which significantly enhances the chances of a successful outcome. This 26.5 percent lift is a strong indicator that direct engagement is a highly effective strategy for resolving rejections.
By combining the 77.6 percent allowance rate with the 26.5 percent lift from an interview, practitioners can maximize their probability of grant. The 860 day median suggests that this examiner is capable of moving cases quickly, and an interview can further streamline the process. Applicants should consider an early interview as a standard part of their strategy to ensure a successful and timely outcome.
