This examiner grants 66% of resolved cases
Claire A. Norris works in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 1778. The examiner has 851 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 65.8 percent. The interview lift is 28.0 percent, showing that interviews are a highly effective strategy. The median days to allowance is 1030. This 1030-day period represents the typical path to a patent grant.
The 65.8 percent allowance rate is a solid baseline, and the 28.0 percent lift from interviews is a significant factor for practitioners. The 851 cases provide a robust data set for these performance metrics. Applicants in Art Unit 1778 should consider the 1030-day median when planning their strategy. The 65.8 percent allowance rate indicates a moderate probability of success, which is greatly improved by the 28.0 percent interview lift. This data suggests that direct communication is a key driver of successful outcomes with this examiner. The 851 resolved cases offer a high degree of predictability for prosecution. The 1030-day median is a key benchmark.
