This examiner grants 64% of resolved cases
Nicholas A. Smith works in Art Unit 1723 and has resolved 918 cases. The examiner's allowance rate is 63.5 percent. This data from Tech Center 4100 helps practitioners set realistic expectations for their applications and evaluate the likelihood of success. The 918 resolved cases provide a robust statistical foundation for this analysis and strategic planning.
The interview lift of 31.7 percent is significant, suggesting that interviews are an effective tool for moving cases toward allowance. This 31.7 percent lift indicates that direct engagement in Art Unit 1723 can meaningfully improve the chances of a grant compared to the 63.5 percent baseline. Practitioners should consider an interview to resolve complex technical issues.
The median days to allowance is 1205, which is the typical duration for successful applications. This timeframe of 1205 days is a critical factor for applicants to consider when planning their patent lifecycle in Tech Center 4100. By understanding both the allowance rate and the pendency, practitioners can develop a more effective and strategic approach to prosecution.
