Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3696
This examiner grants 49% of resolved cases
William J. Jacob serves in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3696. He has 359 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 49.0 percent, which is a relatively low grant rate for this group. This 49.0 percent figure suggests a challenging examination environment where more than half of the resolved cases do not result in a patent grant, requiring diligent prosecution from applicants.
The interview lift is 34.2 percent. This 34.2 percent lift is significant, suggesting that interviews are a very effective way to overcome rejections. Practitioners should utilize interviews to improve the 49.0 percent baseline allowance rate, as the data shows that personal engagement with the examiner can substantially boost the chances of reaching a notice of allowance through direct technical discussion.
The median days to allowance is 1253. This 1253 day period is the median time for cases to reach a grant. A 1253 day pendency is the typical experience for successful applicants in this docket, representing the duration from the initial filing to the final issuance of the patent in this art unit.
