This examiner grants 72% of resolved cases
Richard C. Gurtowski is an examiner in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1657. Across 780 resolved cases, the data shows an allowance rate of 72.3 percent. This 72.3 percent figure provides a baseline for practitioners to understand the probability of a grant. The 780 resolved cases offer a statistically significant look at the examiner's historical tendencies in this chemical and materials engineering center.
The data reveals an interview lift of 37.7 percent. This 37.7 percent lift indicates that an interview is associated with a higher likelihood of allowance compared to the baseline of cases where no interview is conducted. Practitioners may use this metric to evaluate the impact of verbal advocacy. This comparison is a key element of the prosecution strategy for cases in Art Unit 1657.
The median days to allowance for Gurtowski is 1005. This 1005-day period serves as a benchmark for the expected duration of successful prosecutions. The combination of the 72.3 percent allowance rate and the 37.7 percent interview lift, within the context of Tech Center 1700, helps in setting expectations for both timing and results.
