Analysis

Kimberly E Glenn is an examiner in Tech Center 2800, Art Unit 1718, with 1093 resolved cases. The examiner has an allowance rate of 89.5 percent, which is very high for such a large volume of applications. This suggests a very consistent and favorable approach to patent examination across the 1093 resolved cases in Art Unit 1718.

The interview lift is 6.9 percent, which is a small but positive increase. This indicates that while the overall allowance rate is already 89.5 percent, an interview can still provide a slight benefit in securing a grant. Most applications are likely to be allowed regardless of whether an interview is conducted. The 6.9 percent lift is a secondary strategic tool.

The median days to allowance for this examiner is 834. This is a fast timeline, showing that successful applications are granted relatively quickly. The combination of the allowance rate and the 834 day median pendency makes this examiner efficient in Tech Center 2800. The 834 day figure provides a reliable expectation for the timing of a grant.
