Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 1792 3761
This examiner grants 42% of resolved cases
Erwin J Wunderlich works in Art Unit 1792 within Tech Center 3700 and has handled 220 resolved cases. The examiner's allowance rate is 42.3 percent, indicating a rigorous examination process where a minority of the applications reach allowance. This rate suggests that applicants must be prepared for significant pushback and multiple rounds of prosecution.
The interview lift is 40.2 percent, which is a substantial increase that demonstrates the value of direct communication. This lift is nearly as high as the 42.3 percent base allowance rate, suggesting that interviews are a vital tool for success. Practitioners should prioritize interviews to clarify technical points and overcome the challenges presented by the 220 resolved cases.
The median days to allowance is 1366, reflecting a long prosecution timeline for reaching a grant. This duration, combined with the 42.3 percent allowance rate, indicates a difficult path to grant. Applicants should use the 40.2 percent interview lift to navigate the 1366-day median pendency more effectively in Tech Center 3700.
