Examiner: MOSER, SETH DAVID

Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2872

This examiner grants 98% of resolved cases

Analysis

Seth David Moser, in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2872, has 45 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 97.8%, indicating that almost all applications he reviews result in a patent grant. The median days to allowance is 1058, which is a bit longer than some other high-allowance examiners. This 1058-day metric is an important consideration for applicants managing the 45 resolved cases in his art unit.

The interview lift is 2.6%, which is a small positive impact on the 97.8% baseline allowance rate. This 2.6% lift suggests that while most cases are allowed through written prosecution, an interview can still provide a minor advantage. Practitioners can expect a high probability of success, though they should plan for the 1058-day median pendency. The 97.8% allowance rate is the dominant metric for the 45 resolved cases in Art Unit 2872, with the 2.6% lift offering a small additional benefit.
