Analysis

Linda Joan Fleck is an examiner in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2812. With 58 resolved cases, she maintains a relatively high allowance rate of 77.6 percent. This high rate suggests a favorable environment for applicants seeking to secure patent rights in this technology area. The data shows an interview lift of 12.7 percent, indicating that conducting an interview may provide a helpful boost to the 77.6 percent allowance rate. While the allowance rate is already high, this lift demonstrates the additional value of verbal communication during prosecution.

Applicants should prepare for a median of 1320 days to allowance. This timeframe represents the typical duration from filing or transition to issuance for cases assigned to Fleck. The combination of a high allowance rate and a moderate interview lift suggests a predictable prosecution path. With 58 resolved cases, the data indicates an identifiable pattern of granting patents. Practitioners can use the 12.7 percent lift to further ensure success in more complex applications that might otherwise face rejection.
