Tech Center 2100 • Art Units: 2186 2187
This examiner grants 61% of resolved cases
Emily Gorman Leathers is an examiner in Art Unit 2186, part of Tech Center 2100. Her profile is based on 18 resolved cases, which is a smaller but informative data set. The allowance rate is 61.1 percent, showing a moderate level of receptivity to patent applications. The interview lift is 11.1 percent, indicating that direct communication with the examiner can be a helpful tool for advancing a case. This 11.1 percent lift is a positive sign for practitioners who prefer oral advocacy.
The median time to allowance is 1590 days, which is a very long prosecution cycle of over four years. This 1590-day timeline is a critical factor for applicants to consider when budgeting and planning their patent strategy. The 61.1 percent allowance rate, paired with the 11.1 percent lift, suggests that while the process is slow, there is a reasonable chance of success through persistent effort. With only 18 resolved cases, the data is still developing, but the current trends are clear. Practitioners should use the 11.1 percent lift to try and move these long-running cases toward a resolution. The 1590-day median pendency is one of the longer durations seen in this tech center.
