Analysis

ELEY, JESSICA L is assigned to tech center 2800 and art unit 2852. The profile contains 794 resolved cases, an allowance rate of 83.5%, and a median of 766 days to allowance. Interviews correspond to a 5.7% lift in the allowance rate.

The substantial resolved-case record supports treating the allowance rate as a meaningful indicator of prosecution activity. The median timeline provides a concrete planning consideration for applicants managing product or portfolio deadlines. The interview lift is positive but limited, so counsel may reserve interviews for issues where direct clarification is likely to add value.

Canon Inc., Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba, and Ricoh Company, Ltd. are the leading companies. AMIN, TUROCY & WATSON, LLP, LUCAS & MERCANTI, LLP, and MERCHANT & GOULD P.C. are the leading firms. Their participation provides useful context for examiner-specific preparation.
