Tech Center 1600 • Art Units: 1636 1681 1683
This examiner grants 86% of resolved cases
KOVACH, KARA NICOLE works in tech center 1600 and art unit 1636. The record includes 7 resolved cases, an allowance rate of 85.7%, an interview lift of 100.0%, and a median of 1070 days to allowance. The interview-associated cases had a higher allowance outcome than the overall record.
Hitachi Ltd., Fujifilm Corporation, and Leica Microsystems are the listed companies. The listed firms are MATTINGLY & MALUR, PC, SALIWANCHIK, LLOYD & EISENSCHENK, and BALLARD SPAHR LLP. The interview figure supports considering examiner discussion in suitable cases, but the small resolved-case record limits the reliability of broad inferences. Practitioners should examine the particular claims, cited references, and prosecution history before relying on the profile for strategy. The median timing also indicates that the available cases did not reach allowance immediately.
