This examiner grants 41% of resolved cases
Nina Kay Attel is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3731. She has managed 593 resolved cases, offering a broad data set for evaluating prosecution trends. The allowance rate of 41.3 percent suggests a challenging environment where many applications are abandoned. Successful applications reach allowance in a median of 1179 days, which is a key metric for applicants to consider. This 1179-day duration provides a realistic expectation for the length of the prosecution process.
The interview lift of 27.9 percent indicates that verbal communication with the examiner can notably improve the chances of a grant. This 27.9 percent lift is an important consideration given the 41.3 percent baseline allowance rate. For the 593 resolved cases, the data suggests that interviews are an effective way to navigate the rigors of Art Unit 3731. Practitioners should use the 1179-day median to plan their resources and consider the lift as a strategic advantage. Engaging the examiner directly may be the best path toward a successful outcome.
