GUTMAN, HILARY L is a USPTO patent examiner in tech center 3600 and art unit 3612. The record covers 1457 resolved cases, with an allowance rate of 71.7% and an interview lift of 11.6%. The median time to allowance is 831 days. The high case volume provides a substantial basis for interpreting the allowance measure, which shows that a majority of cases reached allowance. The interview measure indicates a more limited association with that result, while the median timeline supports structured prosecution planning.
The leading companies are Ford Motor Company, Toyota Motor Corporation, and Kia Corporation. The associated firms are CROWELL & MORING LLP, DINSMORE & SHOHL LLP, and Braxton IP PLLC. The company mix is concentrated in automotive matters. Practitioners may focus on clear explanations of system operation, careful treatment of prior art, and efficient written responses. Interviews can support clarification when needed, but the record does not indicate that they were associated with a large change in allowance outcomes.
