Tech Center 1700 • Art Units: 1725 1728
This examiner grants 64% of resolved cases
Katherine Nicole Higgins works within Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1725, with 45 resolved cases to her credit. Her allowance rate of 64.4% indicates her general receptivity to patentable subject matter. However, the median days to allowance is 1375, suggesting that while the probability of success is relatively high, the timeline to reach that outcome is extended. This duration is a key factor for applicants to consider when planning their intellectual property strategy in this art unit.
The interview lift pct of 22.0% provides a clear indication of the value of direct communication. While an allowance rate of 64.4% is the baseline, engaging in an interview appears to provide a meaningful boost to those odds. With 45 resolved cases, the data reflects an emerging profile where the 1375 median days to allowance may be mitigated by proactive steps. Practitioners should weigh the 22.0% lift against the total prosecution time to determine the most efficient path forward.
