Analysis

Joseph David Anthony is an examiner in Tech Center 1700, working in Art Unit 1738. With a high volume of 1025 resolved cases, the examiner has an allowance rate of 73.2 percent. This suggests a high probability of success for applicants. The median days to allowance is 940, which is a relatively efficient timeline for the prosecution process.

The interview lift is 5.1 percent, indicating that interviews provide a modest increase in the likelihood of allowance beyond the 73.2 percent baseline. Given the large dataset of 1025 resolved cases, this lift is a stable metric. While many cases are allowed without an interview, direct communication still offers a statistical advantage. Practitioners can expect a 940-day median wait for an allowance. The high volume of cases and the strong allowance rate make Art Unit 1738 a favorable environment for patent prosecution.
