Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2838 2896
This examiner grants 86% of resolved cases
Gary L Laxton has handled 1116 resolved cases in Tech Center 2800. His allowance rate pct of 86.5% in Art Unit 2838 is quite high, suggesting a high frequency of patent grants. This rate indicates a very favorable environment for applicants, with the vast majority of cases reaching allowance.
The interview lift pct of 5.8% indicates that while interviews are helpful, the high baseline allowance rate means they are not as transformative as they are for other examiners. Direct engagement still provides a positive boost, helping to secure a grant in cases where written arguments may need clarification.
The median_days_to_allowance is 810. This efficient timeline and the 86.5% allowance rate make for a very productive prosecution environment. Practitioners can expect a relatively fast path to a grant, with the 5.8% interview lift providing an additional tool for success.
