This examiner grants 78% of resolved cases
Nicholas D. Lucchesi is an examiner in Art Unit 3700 of Tech Center 3700. Across 832 resolved cases, the examiner maintains an allowance rate of 78.4 percent. This high rate indicates a favorable environment for patent grants, with nearly eight out of ten cases resulting in a successful outcome. Practitioners can use the 78.4 percent figure to provide clients with a high degree of confidence in the likelihood of success.
The interview lift is 9.4 percent. This suggests that while interviews provide a benefit, the high baseline allowance rate of 78.4 percent is the primary factor in successful outcomes. Practitioners may still find interviews useful for resolving specific technical issues, even with a lift under ten percent. The 9.4 percent lift indicates that verbal engagement is a helpful but not always necessary supplement to written prosecution.
The median days to allowance is 961. This timeline provides a clear expectation for the duration of the prosecution cycle, lasting about two and a half years. The combination of a 78.4 percent allowance rate and a 961-day median suggests an efficient and reliable path to allowance. These metrics allow for effective planning and help in managing client expectations regarding the timing of a grant.
