Appeals Overview

This analysis examines appeal outcomes and the strategic value of filing appeals for art-unit 3619.

What This Means

With a 28.7% reversal rate, the PTAB affirms the examiner's rejections in the vast majority of cases. This reversal rate is below the USPTO average, indicating that appeals face more challenges here than typical.

Understanding Appeal Filing Strategy

Filing a Notice of Appeal can sometimes lead to allowance even before the appeal is fully briefed or decided by the PTAB. This occurs when the examiner or their supervisor reconsiders the rejection during the mandatory appeal conference (MPEP § 1207.01) after the appeal is filed.

In this dataset, 27.8% of applications that filed an appeal were subsequently allowed. This appeal filing benefit rate is in the bottom 25% across the USPTO, indicating that filing appeals is less effective here than in most other areas.

Strategic Recommendations

⚠ Appeals to PTAB face challenges. Ensure your case has strong merit before committing to full Board review.

⚠ Filing a Notice of Appeal shows limited benefit. Consider other strategies like interviews or amendments before appealing.

Art Unit 3619 - Prosecution Statistics Summary

Executive Summary

Art Unit 3619 is part of Group 3610 in Technology Center 3600. This art unit has examined 6,415 patent applications in our dataset, with an overall allowance rate of 79.8%. Applications typically reach final disposition in approximately 29 months.
