This examiner grants 76% of resolved cases
Seth M. Dumbris serves in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 1712. He has overseen 903 resolved cases. This large number of resolutions indicates a high level of experience and a well-defined examination style. His work in Art Unit 1712 involves navigating the technical complexities of mechanical engineering and related fields, and his 903 cases provide a robust data set for analysis.
The examiner's allowance rate is 76.4 percent. This is a strong figure that suggests a high likelihood of success for applicants. Additionally, he shows an interview lift of 16.6 percent. This double-digit lift indicates that interviews are a highly effective tool for resolving issues and moving cases toward allowance. The 16.6 percent increase in allowance probability following an interview is a clear signal to practitioners that verbal engagement is a valuable part of the prosecution strategy.
The median days to allowance for his cases is 951. This timeframe is under the thousand-day mark, indicating an efficient path to grant. When paired with the 76.4 percent allowance rate, the 951-day median suggests a predictable and relatively fast prosecution process. Practitioners can use the 16.6 percent interview lift to help maintain this efficiency and overcome any obstacles that might otherwise extend the 951-day timeline.
