Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3624 3629
This examiner grants 14% of resolved cases
James L. Webb III is an examiner in Tech Center 3600, specifically Art Unit 3624. His record includes 213 resolved cases. The allowance rate for Webb is 14.1 percent, which is low. This figure suggests a challenging prosecution environment where the majority of applications do not result in a patent grant, requiring a very rigorous approach from applicants.
The interview lift for Webb is 22.3 percent. Despite the low baseline allowance rate of 14.1 percent, the significant interview lift suggests that direct communication is an effective strategy. An interview can increase the likelihood of success, making it a critical tool for practitioners. The 22.3 percent lift indicates that verbal engagement is one of the best ways to improve outcomes with this examiner in the 213 resolved cases analyzed.
The median days to allowance is 1367. This is a relatively long timeline for reaching a resolution. Practitioners should weigh the 1367-day median against the 14.1 percent allowance rate when planning their strategy. Given the 22.3 percent interview lift, early and frequent engagement may be necessary to navigate the difficulties of Art Unit 3624 and reach a favorable result.
