Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2852
This examiner grants 83% of resolved cases
Laura K. Roth is an examiner in Art Unit 2852 of Tech Center 2800. The examiner has 815 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 82.7 percent. This high rate indicates a favorable environment for patent applications assigned to this examiner, as a large majority of cases result in a grant. The 815 resolved cases demonstrate extensive experience and a consistent approach to the examination of applications, providing a predictable path for patent seekers.
The interview lift is 1.7 percent, which is a very small positive indicator. While interviews do not significantly change the probability of allowance, the high baseline rate suggests that many applications are successful through standard prosecution without the need for oral advocacy. The 1.7 percent lift implies that while an interview might offer a slight advantage, it is not a critical component of a successful strategy with this examiner. Practitioners can focus their efforts on maintaining the quality of their written submissions.
The median days to allowance is 770. This is a relatively efficient timeline, suggesting that the examiner processes applications quickly, leading to faster grants for successful applicants. The 770-day median is an excellent benchmark for applicants who prioritize speed in their patent strategy. It allows for a more rapid transition from the application phase to the enforcement of granted patent rights, providing a significant advantage in fast-moving technology markets.
