Examiner: XAVIER, VALENTINA

Analysis

Valentina Xavier examines applications in Art Unit 2875 of Tech Center 3600. She has 765 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 74.9%. The median days to allowance is 1174, which suggests a somewhat extended prosecution timeline. These metrics indicate that while the probability of success is high, applicants should be prepared for a process that takes over three years on average. Practitioners should find the 74.9% allowance rate to be a solid foundation for their cases.

The interview lift is 8.5%. This suggests that while interviews are helpful, the examiner's decisions are largely consistent with the written record. The 765 resolved cases show that the examiner is experienced and maintains a steady workflow. Applicants should factor the 1174 days to allowance into their long-term planning. The 8.5% lift provides a modest benefit for resolving specific issues. Overall, the data points to a reliable prosecution environment where persistence through the 1174-day median is likely to result in a grant.
