Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2853 2854
This examiner grants 53% of resolved cases
Leo T. Hinze works in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2853, where he has handled 774 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 52.7%, indicating a moderate level of challenge for applicants. The median days to allowance is 1167, which sets a clear expectation for the length of the prosecution process. These figures, based on 774 resolved cases, provide a reliable baseline for understanding his approach to patent examination.
The interview lift pct of 10.4% shows that interviews provide a modest but measurable benefit in increasing the 52.7% allowance rate. While the lift is not as dramatic as with some other examiners, it still represents a strategic option for overcoming rejections. Given the 1167 median days to allowance, practitioners should weigh the 10.4% lift against the time and cost of an interview to determine if it is the best path forward. The 774 resolved cases offer a solid statistical foundation for these conclusions.
