Tech Center 2600 • Art Units: 2482 2488 2618 2685
This examiner grants 72% of resolved cases
Clifford Hilaire is an examiner in Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 2482, having managed 447 resolved cases. He maintains an allowance rate of 71.8%, which indicates a favorable environment for patent applicants. The median days to allowance for his cases is 947, suggesting a relatively efficient path through the USPTO. These figures provide a clear baseline for expectations regarding both the likelihood of success and the time required to achieve it.
The interview lift pct for this examiner is 14.9%. While the 71.8% allowance rate is already high, the lift suggests that interviews still provide a measurable benefit in securing a grant. Given the 947 median days to allowance, practitioners might find that the 14.9% lift is most useful in complex cases where written communication alone is insufficient. The 447 resolved cases offer a solid foundation for these statistics, reflecting a consistent approach to examination within Tech Center 2600.
