Examiner: ELLIOTT, JORDAN MCKENZIE

Tech Center 2600 • Art Units: 2666

This examiner grants 47% of resolved cases

Analysis

Jordan McKenzie Elliott has resolved 32 cases in Art Unit 2666 of Tech Center 2600. The examiner has an allowance rate of 46.9 percent, which indicates a more challenging prosecution environment where success is not guaranteed. This 46.9 percent rate suggests that practitioners must be prepared for a rigorous examination process.

The interview lift is 4.2 percent. This suggests that interviews provide a small benefit in securing an allowance, though the impact is less pronounced than with other examiners. The 4.2 percent lift indicates that while direct communication can be helpful, it may not be the primary factor in overcoming rejections in Art Unit 2666.

The median days to allowance is 1086. This duration provides a benchmark for the expected time to reach a resolution. The 1086-day timeline is an important factor for practitioners to consider when managing client expectations for applications assigned to this examiner.
