Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2853 2861
This examiner grants 90% of resolved cases
Kristal J Feggins serves in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2853, where she has handled 947 resolved cases. Her allowance rate is 89.9 percent. This is an exceptionally high rate, indicating that the vast majority of applications assigned to her result in a patent. The 89.9 percent allowance rate suggests a very high degree of predictability and success for applicants in this art unit.
The interview lift is 8.4 percent. While the lift is positive, its impact is moderated by the fact that the baseline allowance rate is already 89.9 percent. Interviews may still be useful for resolving specific technical points or narrowing claims in the 947 resolved cases. Practitioners should view the 8.4 percent lift as a supplemental tool rather than a primary necessity for achieving an allowance.
The median days to allowance is 715. This relatively short duration suggests an efficient prosecution process. Applicants can expect a high probability of success and a faster path to grant compared to many other units, given the 89.9 percent allowance rate and the 715-day median. This combination of metrics makes for a highly favorable environment for patent prosecution.
