Examiner: FITZPATRICK, JULIA GRACE

Analysis

Julia Grace Fitzpatrick is an examiner in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 2855. She has reached a resolution in 62 cases. The data shows an allowance rate of 83.9 percent for these applications. This high percentage indicates that a large majority of the cases resolved by this examiner result in a patent grant. Practitioners can use this 83.9 percent figure to assess the favorable environment for applicants, though the sample size of 62 cases should be noted.

The data shows a minimal interview lift of 1.3 percent for this examiner. This metric indicates that conducting an interview is associated with only a very slight increase in the likelihood of receiving an allowance. An interview lift of 1.3 percent suggests that written arguments are highly effective on their own in this art unit. Practitioners should evaluate whether the additional effort of an interview is necessary given the already high probability of success through written prosecution.

The median days to allowance for cases handled by this examiner is 1050. This timeline represents the middle value of the duration from filing to grant. A median of 1050 days provides a specific benchmark for applicants to use when planning their prosecution strategy. These metrics are grounded in 62 resolved cases, offering a preliminary perspective on the examiner's historical trends and performance.
