Listed by the USPTO as CRAMER, HALEE PAIGE

Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2891

This examiner grants 75% of resolved cases

Analysis

Halee Paige Cramer, an examiner in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2891, has 63 resolved cases in her profile. She maintains an allowance rate of 74.6%, which indicates a generally favorable environment for applicants. However, the median days to allowance is 1213, showing that reaching a grant can be a lengthy process.

The interview lift for this examiner is 7.4%. While positive, this lift is more modest than in other units, suggesting that while interviews help, they may not be as transformative as the 74.6% baseline allowance rate itself. Top companies such as Intel Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. are frequent participants in her docket.

Firms like SCHWABE, WILLIAMSON & WYATT, P.C., Akona IP PC - Intel, and IPUSA, P.L.L.C represent many of the applicants. These practitioners should account for the 1213-day median pendency when advising clients. With 63 resolved cases as the data set, the 7.4% interview lift offers a minor tactical advantage during prosecution.
