Thomas M. Hammond III is an examiner in Tech Center 3700, working in Art Unit 2800. With 251 resolved cases, there is a substantial amount of data available to inform prosecution strategies. The allowance rate is 75.7 percent, which indicates a generally favorable environment for applicants.

This 1100-day timeline is an important consideration for practitioners when setting expectations for the duration of the process. The data also shows an interview lift percentage of 29.5. This 29.5 percent lift is significant, as it indicates that conducting an interview provides a substantial boost to the likelihood of an allowance.
