This examiner grants 81% of resolved cases
James D. Sells manages a high volume of 905 resolved cases in Tech Center 1700. The examiner maintains a robust allowance rate of 81.4 percent. This high rate suggests a favorable environment for patent applicants in Art Unit 1700, where a large majority of applications eventually reach issuance. Such a high allowance rate often indicates an examiner who is willing to work with applicants to find allowable subject matter.
The median days to allowance is 918. This duration is efficient for applications in this tech center. A 918-day median suggests that the examiner moves cases toward a final resolution at a steady pace, allowing applicants to secure patent rights without excessive delays.
An interview lift of 11.9 percent is reported. While the 81.4 percent allowance rate is already high, practitioners may still find value in interviews to further increase the likelihood of allowance. The 11.9 percent lift is a measurable increase over the base allowance rate, indicating that even in a favorable environment, direct engagement can help resolve remaining issues and potentially expedite the 918-day timeline.
