Examiner: WALLACE, KIPP CHARLES

Analysis

Kipp Charles Wallace has managed 935 resolved cases in Art Unit 1774, part of Tech Center 3600. The examiner's allowance rate of 78.3 percent shows a high degree of predictability and success for applicants in this portfolio. This 78.3 percent rate indicates that the examiner is generally cooperative and willing to grant patents when the claims are properly supported and distinguished from the prior art.

The median days to allowance is 1011, which is a standard and manageable timeline for patent prosecution. Practitioners should note the interview lift of 25.5 percent, which indicates that interviews are a highly effective strategy for resolving issues and securing an allowance. This 25.5 percent lift suggests that direct verbal communication can significantly improve the chances of a grant beyond the baseline.

Given the 78.3 percent allowance rate, an interview is a powerful tool to ensure a positive outcome, especially in cases with complex technical issues. The 1011 day median provides a reliable expectation for the duration of the process. Applicants who leverage the 25.5 percent interview lift are likely to find a very favorable and efficient path to issuance with this examiner.
