This examiner grants 63% of resolved cases
Gerard T. Higgins is an examiner in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1717, where he has reached a resolution in 867 cases. His allowance rate of 63.3% suggests a moderate path to grant for most applicants. The median days to allowance for his applications is 1216, which provides a timeline for practitioners to use when setting client expectations for the length of the patent acquisition process. This volume of 867 resolved cases indicates a well established set of examination habits.
The data shows an interview lift pct of 39.4%, highlighting the utility of oral advocacy during prosecution. This lift demonstrates that cases with interviews are significantly more likely to result in an allowance than those that rely solely on written responses. Given the 1216 median days to allowance, practitioners might use interviews not only to increase the 63.3% allowance rate but also to potentially streamline the process. The high number of resolved cases ensures that these percentages are grounded in a broad range of prosecution scenarios within Tech Center 1700.
