Examiner: SCHIMPF, TARA E

Analysis

Tara E Schimpf is an examiner in Art Unit 3600 within Tech Center 3600. She has 444 resolved cases, with an allowance rate pct of 78.6. The median days to allowance is 949, which is relatively short and suggests an efficient process. With 444 cases of historical data, the 78.6 allowance rate pct indicates a favorable environment for applicants seeking a patent grant.

The interview lift pct of 7.8 provides a modest but positive benefit. While the baseline is already high, the 7.8 lift shows that direct communication can still be a useful tool for resolving any remaining issues. Practitioners should appreciate the efficiency indicated by the 949-day median pendency. The combination of a high allowance rate and a quick timeline makes prosecution in her art unit relatively predictable and successful.
