Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2818
This examiner grants 68% of resolved cases
Nicholas Leland Hutson is an examiner in Tech Center 2800, assigned to Art Unit 2818. The examiner has 29 resolved cases, which provides an initial baseline for understanding their prosecution patterns. The data shows an allowance rate of 65.5 percent, indicating that a solid majority of applications in this docket result in a grant. This 65.5 percent rate is a key starting point for practitioners.
The median time to allowance is 1236 days. This 1236-day timeline suggests a longer prosecution cycle compared to some other units. Practitioners should account for this 1236-day duration when managing client expectations and budgets. While the 65.5 percent allowance rate is favorable, the time required to reach that outcome is a significant factor in Art Unit 2818.
The interview lift is 6.8 percent. This 6.8 percent lift is relatively modest, suggesting that interviews have a limited impact on the final outcome for this examiner. While still positive, the 6.8 percent increase is smaller than what is seen with many other examiners. Practitioners should weigh this lift against the 65.5 percent base allowance rate when deciding on their tactical approach in Tech Center 2800.
