This examiner grants 85% of resolved cases
Suzette Jaime J. Gherbi is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3738, with 1397 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 85.0%, and the median days to allowance is 893. These metrics indicate an efficient prosecution environment. The 85.0% rate is the primary benchmark for success, while the 893-day figure represents the typical timeline for a grant. Practitioners can use these figures to set reliable expectations for their clients.
The interview lift is 8.8%, providing a small additional benefit to the 85.0% allowance rate. Given the high volume of 1397 resolved cases, this examiner appears to be consistent in granting patents. The 8.8% lift suggests that while interviews are helpful, the baseline for success is already quite high. The 893-day median pendency is a key data point for planning. Applicants in Art Unit 3738 should consider the 8.8% lift as a supplemental tactic to the 85.0% allowance rate.
