This examiner grants 55% of resolved cases

Analysis

David E. England works within Tech Center 3900 and Art Unit 2143, with 146 resolved cases in his record. His allowance rate of 54.8% indicates a balanced approach to patentability, with a distribution between grants and abandonments. However, the median days to allowance of 1800 suggests a very long prosecution process, which may require applicants to prepare for multiple rounds of examination.

The data reveals an interview lift of only 0.7%, which is notably low. This suggests that interviews may not be the most effective tool for changing the outcome of a case in Art Unit 2143. With a 54.8% allowance rate and an 1800-day median pendency, practitioners might find that written amendments and technical arguments are more influential than verbal discussions. The minimal 0.7% lift indicates that the examiner's decisions are largely driven by the written record rather than interview interactions.
