Listed by the USPTO as FREEMAN, EMILY ELIZABETH
Tech Center 1700 • Art Units: 1724
This examiner grants 73% of resolved cases
Emily Elizabeth Freeman has 151 resolved cases in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1724. Her allowance rate is 72.8%, and the median time to allowance is 1203 days. Her work involves major battery and energy companies like LG Energy Solution Ltd., Panasonic Holdings Corporation, and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. These metrics indicate a respectable success rate, though the 1203-day median pendency suggests a longer-than-average prosecution cycle.
The interview lift of 13.9% suggests that practitioners can effectively use interviews to advance their cases toward an allowance. This 13.9% lift over the 72.8% baseline indicates that direct communication is a productive way to resolve technical issues. Firms such as BIRCH STEWART KOLASCH & BIRCH, LLP, K&L Gates LLP, and Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP are among the top representatives in her docket, likely using interviews to manage the 1203-day timeline.
Applicants in the energy storage sector should be prepared for a multi-year prosecution process, as indicated by the 1203-day median. However, the 72.8% allowance rate and 13.9% interview lift provide a clear path to success. Engaging the examiner in an interview appears to be a standard and effective tactic for firms operating in Art Unit 1724, helping to secure grants in a complex technical field.
