This examiner grants 50% of resolved cases

Analysis

ELLIOTT, JORDAN MCKENZIE is assigned to tech center 2600 and art unit 2666. The profile records 34 resolved cases, an allowance rate of 50.0%, and a median of 1092 days to allowance. Interviews are associated with a 7.6% lift in the allowance rate.

The limited record shows an even allowance rate and a median timeline that calls for deliberate prosecution planning. The interview lift is positive but modest, so an interview may be most useful when it can narrow a discrete claim or prior-art issue. Applicants should maintain clear fallback positions for continued written prosecution.

Canon Inc., International Business Machines Corporation, and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. are the leading companies. BakerHostetler, Studebaker Brackett PLLC, and Anova Law Group, PLLC are the leading firms. These participants provide practical context for counsel assessing this examiner.
