Examiner: KLOTZ, WILLIAM R

Analysis

William R Klotz is a patent examiner in Tech Center 6200, specifically working within Art Unit 3754. This examiner has overseen 281 resolved cases, which provides a substantial statistical foundation for analyzing their historical prosecution patterns. These 281 resolved cases encompass all applications that have reached a final decision under their review in Art Unit 3754 and Tech Center 6200.

The data reveals an allowance rate of 39.5 percent, which reflects the proportion of applications that are successfully granted. The median days to allowance for these cases is 1146. This duration of 1146 days represents the typical timeline for reaching a favorable outcome. The 39.5 percent allowance rate serves as a primary benchmark for applicants when planning their prosecution strategy.

The interview lift for this examiner is 54.8 percent. This 54.8 percent lift indicates that conducting an interview is associated with a significant increase in the probability of allowance compared to the baseline rate of 39.5 percent. Given the median days to allowance of 1146, the 54.8 percent interview lift suggests that direct communication with the examiner is a highly valuable tool for improving the likelihood of a successful grant.
