This examiner grants 67% of resolved cases
Nathan L Laughlin has resolved 774 cases in Art Unit 2118 of Tech Center 4100. His allowance rate pct of 66.9% indicates that approximately two-thirds of applications reach a grant. This baseline provides a moderate probability of success for practitioners managing cases on his docket.
The interview lift pct of 11.1% suggests that interviews provide a helpful boost to the likelihood of allowance. Direct communication can be a strategic way to address examiner concerns and improve upon the 66.9% baseline. This positive lift indicates that Laughlin is receptive to verbal arguments during the prosecution process.
The median_days_to_allowance is 1199. This figure indicates a longer-than-average timeline for reaching an allowance, which practitioners should factor into their overall prosecution strategy. Utilizing the 11.1% interview lift may be a key tactic for navigating this 1199-day pendency and securing a patent grant.
