Brent W. Herring is an experienced examiner in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3633, with 1327 resolved cases. He has an allowance rate of 69.0 percent and a relatively fast median pendency of 798 days to allowance. This examiner works with companies like Unilin B.V., Hilti Aktiengesellschaft, and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy S.A. The 69.0 percent allowance rate suggests a predictable path for well-prepared applications.
The interview lift of 16.5 percent shows that direct engagement is a useful strategy for securing a grant. Practitioners from firms like Workman Nydegger, THE WEBB LAW FIRM, P.C., and Abel Schillinger, LLP can use this 16.5 percent lift to improve the 69.0 percent baseline allowance rate. The 798-day median wait suggests an efficient process for those who can satisfy the examiner's requirements. The 1327 resolved cases provide a very strong statistical foundation for these prosecution trends.
