This examiner grants 79% of resolved cases
David B. Lugo handles cases in Art Unit 2611 within Tech Center 4100. With 730 resolved cases, the examiner has an allowance rate of 78.8 percent. This high rate suggests a strong likelihood of success for applicants in this unit. Practitioners can use the 78.8 percent figure to communicate a positive outlook to clients regarding the probability of securing a patent grant.
The interview lift is 2.6 percent. This low figure indicates that interviews have a minimal impact on the already high probability of allowance. Practitioners may find that written arguments are often sufficient for success, given the existing 78.8 percent allowance rate. The 2.6 percent lift suggests that while interviews are not discouraged, they are rarely the primary driver of a favorable outcome with this examiner.
The median days to allowance is 904. This timeline represents the typical duration for successful applications, lasting approximately two and a half years. The efficiency of this unit is reflected in both the 78.8 percent allowance rate and the 904-day median pendency. These metrics provide a reliable basis for setting expectations about the speed and success of the prosecution process.
