Examiner: FITZGERALD, JOHN P

Analysis

John P. Fitzgerald is an examiner in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 1728. He has overseen 858 resolved cases, providing a substantial data set for evaluating his prosecution style. His allowance rate is 75.2 percent. This rate indicates that three out of every four applications under his review reach a successful grant. Applicants can use this 75.2 percent figure to understand the high probability of success for cases assigned to this examiner.

The data shows a minimal interview lift of 2.0 percent for this examiner. This metric indicates that conducting an interview is associated with only a slight increase in the likelihood of receiving an allowance. An interview lift of 2.0 percent suggests that written arguments and formal responses are the primary drivers of outcomes in this art unit. Practitioners should carefully consider whether the time and cost of an interview are justified by this small statistical benefit.

The median days to allowance for applications under his review is 1043. This figure represents the typical timeframe for reaching a resolution in successful cases. A median of 1043 days helps in managing expectations for the total duration of the prosecution process. With 858 resolved cases, these figures provide a robust and well-supported view of the examiner's historical performance and long-term trends.
