This examiner grants 33% of resolved cases

Analysis

Peter C. English, based in Tech Center 3900 and Art Unit 2883, has 180 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 32.8 percent, which indicates a challenging prosecution environment. The median time to allowance for successful cases is 1144 days. This 1144 days figure suggests that applicants should be prepared for a long and rigorous examination process.

Despite the low allowance rate of 32.8 percent, the interview lift is 27.0 percent. This suggests that while obtaining a grant is difficult, direct engagement with the examiner significantly improves the odds. Practitioners should consider an interview as a primary strategy to overcome the 32.8 percent baseline allowance rate. With 180 resolved cases, the 27.0 percent lift is a meaningful indicator that oral advocacy can help resolve issues that written responses alone may not. The 1144 days median pendency further emphasizes the need for effective strategies to move cases forward.
