This examiner grants 68% of resolved cases
Catherine T. Rastovski serves in Art Unit 2857 within Tech Center 2800, where she has overseen 317 resolved cases. Her allowance rate of 67.8 percent indicates a relatively high probability of success for applicants. This baseline suggests that more than two-thirds of applications assigned to her docket eventually reach a grant.
The data shows a 29.0 percent interview lift, which suggests that direct communication with the examiner is a highly effective strategy. Practitioners may find that discussing technical limitations or claim interpretations in an interview can significantly increase the likelihood of moving a case toward allowance.
The median days to allowance is 1257, representing the typical duration for successful prosecution. This timeline suggests that while the examiner is open to granting patents, the process often involves multiple rounds of review. Applicants should plan for a multi-year engagement to reach a final resolution.
