Examiner: LOTTICH, JOSHUA P

Analysis

Joshua P. Lottich handles patent examinations in Art Unit 2113 within Tech Center 2100. With 780 resolved cases, the examiner maintains a high allowance rate of 90.3 percent. This figure suggests that the vast majority of applications reaching a final resolution result in a patent grant. The 90.3 percent rate indicates a highly favorable prosecution environment for applicants working in this technology area.

The interview lift is recorded at 3.5 percent. This relatively low figure suggests that interviews have a minimal impact on the already high probability of success. Because the baseline allowance rate is 90.3 percent, practitioners may find that written arguments are often sufficient to secure an allowance without the need for verbal engagement. The 3.5 percent lift confirms that while interviews are not detrimental, they are not the primary catalyst for grants in this unit.

The median days to allowance is 819. This duration provides a clear benchmark for the time required to move from filing to a successful grant. The 819-day median reflects an efficient process, especially when paired with the high volume of 780 resolved cases. Practitioners can rely on these metrics to provide clients with a predictable outlook for both the high likelihood of success and the expected timeline for resolution.
