This examiner grants 84% of resolved cases
Christopher E. Everett is an examiner in Tech Center 4100 and Art Unit 2116, having managed 864 resolved cases. His allowance rate of 83.6% indicates a high probability of success for applications under his review. This efficiency is further supported by a median days to allowance of 942, which suggests a relatively standard timeline for reaching a final disposition.
The interview lift of 23.2% is particularly notable, as it represents a substantial increase in the likelihood of allowance when an interview is conducted. For practitioners in Art Unit 2116, this 23.2% lift suggests that verbal communication is an effective tool for resolving outstanding issues. The 864 resolved cases provide a robust dataset for evaluating these trends.
With a median days to allowance of 942, applicants can plan their prosecution strategy with a clear expectation of timing. The 83.6% allowance rate remains high, and the impact of interviews in Tech Center 4100 appears to be a key driver for successful outcomes. This combination of data points suggests a favorable environment for patent grants.
