This examiner grants 40% of resolved cases
Megha Mehta Gaitonde is an examiner in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1717. Gaitonde has handled 603 resolved cases, with an allowance rate of 40.5 percent. This 40.5 percent allowance rate indicates the proportion of applications reaching a final disposition under her review that are granted. The 603 resolved cases provide a substantial data set for understanding the examiner's typical outcomes and procedural pace.
The impact of examiner interviews is significant in Gaitonde's profile. The data shows an interview lift of 35.6 percent, indicating that direct communication greatly improves the chances of obtaining a grant compared to cases without an interview. This 35.6 percent lift suggests that practitioners should actively seek interviews to resolve issues and clarify claim scope. In Art Unit 1717, an interview appears to be a highly effective tool for moving a case toward allowance, especially given the baseline rate of 40.5 percent.
The median time to allowance is 1322 days. This 1322 day period is the typical duration from filing to patent issuance for successful applications. This 1322 day median indicates a longer prosecution cycle, which applicants should account for in their strategic planning. With 603 resolved cases, this timing metric is a well-established benchmark for pendency expectations.
