Examiner: CORRIELUS, JEAN B

Analysis

Examiner Corrielus maintains a high allowance rate of 89.5% across 995 resolved cases in Art Unit 2611. This rate suggests a very favorable environment for applicants seeking patent protection within Tech Center 2800. The efficiency of prosecution is further evidenced by a median days to allowance of 859, which is relatively swift for complex technology sectors. This combination of high success and speed makes this examiner among the more accessible in the tech center.

Strategic use of interviews appears highly effective with this examiner, as shown by an interview lift of 15.6%. This lift indicates that engaging in direct dialogue significantly improves the chances of reaching an allowance compared to cases without interviews. Given the large volume of 995 resolved cases, these metrics provide a reliable baseline for predicting prosecution outcomes and timing. Practitioners should prioritize interviews early in the process to capitalize on this 15.6% lift and potentially further reduce the 859-day median pendency. The 89.5% allowance rate demonstrates a consistent openness to granting patents when technical requirements are met.
