This examiner grants 52% of resolved cases
Aileen Baker Felton is an examiner in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1624, with 449 resolved cases. Her allowance rate is 51.9 percent. This rate shows a balanced outcome for applicants, with roughly half of the cases resulting in an allowance. The 51.9 percent allowance rate suggests that success depends heavily on the technical merits and the quality of the prosecution strategy.
The interview lift is 16.5 percent. This positive lift suggests that engaging in an interview can meaningfully improve the chances of an application being allowed. For the 449 resolved cases, direct communication has proven to be a helpful strategy for clarifying issues and reaching agreement. Practitioners should consider the 16.5 percent lift as a valuable tool for advancing prosecution.
The median days to allowance is 1624. This is a relatively long duration, indicating that the path to a patent grant often involves multiple rounds of prosecution. Applicants should be prepared for a lengthy process, while using the 16.5 percent interview lift to navigate the 51.9 percent allowance rate environment. The 1624-day median is numerically identical to the art unit number.
