Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 1723 1789 3746 3783
This examiner grants 63% of resolved cases
Philip Earl Stimpert serves as a patent examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 1723. He has overseen 889 resolved cases. The examiner demonstrates an allowance rate of 63.1 percent, which indicates the proportion of applications that successfully reach issuance. This rate provides a clear expectation for practitioners regarding the probability of a grant when their cases are assigned to this examiner.
The data highlights a significant interview lift of 48.8 percent. This metric suggests that conducting an interview with the examiner is a highly effective strategy for moving a case toward allowance. Practitioners can use this 48.8 percent lift to justify the time and expense of direct communication, as it represents a measurable improvement in the likelihood of a positive outcome. This is a key tactical consideration for Art Unit 1723.
The median time to allowance is 1292 days. This duration defines the typical timeframe for the prosecution cycle for successful applications. When managing a portfolio, practitioners can use this 1292 day figure to estimate the period required to navigate the examination process. The 889 resolved cases provide a stable basis for these metrics in Tech Center 3700.
