Analysis

LEITE, PAULO ROBERTO GONZ is associated with Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3663. The profile contains 101 resolved cases, a 51.5% allowance rate, and a 16.8% interview lift. The median time to allowance is 1315 days. The smaller resolved-case record makes the outcome measures less established than a high-volume profile, while the timing figure points to a prolonged reported path to allowance.

The listed companies are Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Toyota Motor Corporation, and Deere & Company. The listed firms are DINSMORE & SHOHL LLP, FISH & RICHARDSON P.C. (TC), and HARNESS DICKEY (DETROIT). Applicants may benefit from detailed early review of claim scope, prior art positions, and possible interview objectives. The allowance rate does not indicate a routine outcome, so prosecution budgets should allow for substantive engagement and the possibility of multiple response stages.
