Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 2425 2482 2489 3784
This examiner grants 65% of resolved cases
Kyle M. Lotfi serves as an examiner in Art Unit 2425 within Tech Center 3700. With 371 resolved cases, the examiner maintains an allowance rate of 64.7 percent. This statistic provides a baseline for applicants to evaluate their chances of securing a patent grant. The 64.7 percent rate suggests that while a majority of cases are allowed, the prosecution process requires careful attention to the examiner's specific requirements.
The data indicates an interview lift of 7.2 percent. This figure suggests that while interviews are beneficial, they provide a more modest increase in the probability of allowance compared to other examiners. Practitioners should still consider the 7.2 percent lift as a tool for resolving misunderstandings, but they should also focus heavily on the technical merits of their written responses to move cases forward.
The median days to allowance is 1096. This duration represents the middle point of the timeline for successful applications to reach a grant. The 1096-day median, combined with the 371 resolved cases, offers a reliable window into the expected pace of prosecution. Applicants can use these figures to set realistic expectations for the time and effort required to navigate Art Unit 2425.
