This examiner grants 91% of resolved cases
Nigel H. Plumb is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 2855. The examiner has 692 resolved cases and a high allowance rate of 90.8 percent. This suggests a very favorable environment for applicants. The median days to allowance is 775, which indicates the typical prosecution timeline for a successful grant. With 692 resolved cases, the examiner's performance metrics are well-established.
The interview lift for this examiner is 1.0 percent. Given that the baseline allowance rate is already 90.8 percent, the marginal increase of 1.0 percent from an interview is minimal. Practitioners may find that the high probability of success is already captured in the 90.8 percent rate without the need for additional oral advocacy. The 775 median days to allowance reinforces the speed of Art Unit 2855. In summary, the 692 resolved cases demonstrate that the examiner frequently grants patents, making the 1.0 percent interview lift a secondary consideration for most strategies.
