Tech Center 1600 • Art Units: 1600 1619
This examiner grants 15% of resolved cases
Lori K. Mattison has resolved 483 cases in Art Unit 1600. The data reveals a very low allowance rate of 14.7% and a median days to allowance of 1716. This indicates an extremely difficult and lengthy prosecution environment in Tech Center 1600. The 1716-day timeline is a critical factor for applicants to consider when filing in this unit. The 14.7% rate suggests that the majority of applications do not reach allowance.
The interview lift is 26.6%, which provides a substantial boost to the 14.7% baseline. Despite this 26.6% increase, the overall probability of allowance remains lower than in many other art units. With 483 resolved cases, the data clearly shows that applicants face a 1716-day median struggle for allowance. Practitioners should use these metrics to prepare for a rigorous and potentially multi-year examination process.
In Art Unit 1600, the 26.6% interview lift is a vital tool for those seeking to overcome rejections. However, the 1716-day median pendency remains a significant hurdle. This profile of 483 cases highlights the challenges of obtaining a patent under this examiner's review. Strategy should focus on leveraging the 26.6% lift to improve the 14.7% baseline odds.
