This examiner grants 100% of resolved cases

Analysis

Evelyn Anne Thoman is an examiner assigned to Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3783. The current data for this profile is based on 1 resolved case, which resulted in an allowance rate of 100.0. This specific case reached its conclusion in a median of 1162 days, providing a data point for pendency. The interview lift is currently recorded at 0.0, although this figure is derived from the same resolved case and may not reflect future trends as the examiner portfolio grows.

Practitioners should approach these metrics with caution due to the limited sample size. While the 100.0 allowance rate is a positive sign, it is not yet supported by a broad history of applications. The 1162 days to allowance suggests a lengthy prosecution cycle for the case on record. In Tech Center 3700, prosecution often involves detailed technical review, which is reflected in the duration of the case on record. For now, the 1 resolved case serves as the only metric for evaluating this examiner performance. Applicants should monitor future updates to see how the initial success metrics evolve with a larger volume of resolved cases in Art Unit 3783.
