Examiner: SAMUEL, CLINT A

Analysis

Clint A Samuel has resolved 554 cases in Tech Center 2900. The allowance rate is 96.0 percent. This extremely high rate indicates a very favorable environment for grant seekers in Art Unit 2917. With nearly all cases resulting in a grant, applicants can have high confidence in a positive outcome when working with this examiner, given the 96.0 percent success rate.

The interview lift is 1.8 percent. Given the high base allowance rate, interviews provide a minimal statistical benefit. The data suggests that the examiner is already highly inclined toward allowance, making the additional effort of an interview less critical than with other examiners who have lower allowance rates and lack this 1.8 percent lift.

The median days to allowance is 650. This pendency indicates a very fast path to grant for successful applications. The combination of a 96.0 percent allowance rate and a 650 day median pendency makes this one of the more efficient and favorable profiles for patent applicants in Tech Center 2900.
