Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 2855 3665
This examiner grants 74% of resolved cases
Henry R. Hinton operates within Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 2855. He has overseen 58 resolved cases, resulting in an allowance rate of 74.1 percent. This rate of allowance is paired with a median days to allowance of 1054, providing a roadmap for the expected duration of successful prosecution. While the sample size of 58 cases is smaller than some other examiners, the 74.1 percent grant rate suggests a receptive approach to patentability in this technical area.
The most notable metric for this examiner is the interview lift of 34.8 percent. This increase in the likelihood of allowance following an interview suggests that verbal advocacy is an effective tool in this art unit. Practitioners should prioritize early communication to leverage this 34.8 percent lift and potentially streamline the path to a patent grant compared to the 74.1 percent baseline. The 34.8 percent lift is a significant advantage found in the data, making the interview a critical component of any strategy involving this examiner. Understanding these trends allows for more precise planning of resources and timelines during the application lifecycle. The 1054-day median remains the primary benchmark for pendency for the 58 cases resolved.
