Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 1612 3792
This examiner grants 29% of resolved cases
Colman Thomas Welles presents a challenging environment in Art Unit 1612, with an allowance rate of 30.4 percent across 23 resolved cases. The median days to allowance is 1247, suggesting that successful prosecution in Tech Center 1600 requires both persistence and time. This 30.4 percent allowance rate indicates that the examiner maintains rigorous standards for patentability, and applicants should be prepared for a difficult path to grant.
However, the interview lift of 63.3 percent is exceptionally high. This suggests that while the 30.4 percent baseline is low, interviews are a powerful tool for overcoming examiner objections. Practitioners should view the interview as a primary mechanism for improving the initial odds of allowance. The 63.3 percent lift is a highly significant metric in this profile, indicating that direct dialogue can fundamentally change the trajectory of an application. Despite the 1247-day timeline, an early interview could be the key to navigating this examiner's scrutiny and securing a successful outcome. The 23 resolved cases show a clear benefit to verbal engagement.
