Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2828
This examiner grants 39% of resolved cases
Sean P. Hagan has a history of 624 resolved cases in Art Unit 2828. Operating within Tech Center 2800, he maintains an allowance rate of 39.3 percent. This statistic indicates an examination style where a minority of the applications result in a patent grant. Applicants should prepare for a prosecution path that may involve multiple rounds of rejection.
The data highlights the importance of examiner interaction, as the interview lift is 30.0 percent. This lift suggests that verbal discussions are effective at resolving outstanding issues and moving a case toward allowance. The median days to allowance is 1194, which is a period practitioners should factor into their long-term strategy. Given the 39.3 percent allowance rate, the 30.0 percent interview lift becomes a tool for overcoming the examiner's initial findings. Success in this art unit requires persistence and a proactive approach to communication.
