This examiner grants 83% of resolved cases

Analysis

Examiner Cross has an allowance rate of 82.6% in Art Unit 2815, based on 471 resolved cases. This high rate suggests a favorable environment for applicants in Tech Center 2800. The median days to allowance of 879 indicates a relatively efficient prosecution timeline. With 471 resolved cases, the examiner has established a clear pattern of thorough but ultimately favorable examination.

The interview lift of 8.7% shows a helpful benefit to engaging in direct discussion. While the 82.6% allowance rate is already strong, an interview can provide the extra momentum needed for more complex cases. For the 471 resolved cases, the data supports a strategy of clear written communication supplemented by targeted interviews to maintain high success rates and the 879-day median timeline. Practitioners can rely on the 879-day median pendency for planning, knowing that the 8.7% lift offers a reliable way to address any examiner concerns. This balanced approach is likely to result in a successful outcome given the examiner's high baseline for granting patents.
