This examiner grants 95% of resolved cases
Examiner Thornton C. Nelson operates within Art Unit 2914 of Tech Center 2900, where they have managed 432 resolved cases. The data shows an allowance rate of 95.4 percent. This success rate is achieved with a median of 689 days to allowance, which establishes the timeline for secured patents within this specific art unit. Practitioners can observe the relationship between the 432 resolved cases and the frequency of grants.
The impact of examiner interviews appears limited based on the provided metrics. The interview lift is recorded at 4.8 percent, which is a small increase compared to the 95.4 percent baseline allowance rate. This suggests that while interviews are not detrimental, they provide a minor statistical advantage. For the 432 resolved cases, the primary driver of success appears to be the standard review process rather than the 4.8 percent lift provided by verbal consultation. The 689-day median efficiency is a key factor for applicants to consider when managing their patent portfolios.
