This examiner grants 28% of resolved cases
Michele Lynn Jacobson works in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1655. She has 364 resolved cases. Her allowance rate is 28.0 percent, which indicates a very challenging prosecution environment. This 28.0 percent rate suggests that many applications do not result in a patent grant, requiring practitioners to be exceptionally thorough.
The interview lift is 32.9 percent. Despite the low 28.0 percent allowance rate, the 32.9 percent lift suggests that interviews are a powerful tool for moving toward a grant. Personal engagement appears to be a necessary strategy for overcoming the high rate of rejections, as it can provide a forum for resolving complex technical issues that may not be addressed effectively in writing.
The median days to allowance is 1431. This 1431 day timeline reflects a slow pace for cases that do eventually reach allowance. Practitioners should expect a difficult and long process, with 1431 days being the median duration for successful applications, reflecting the extensive effort required to secure a patent in this docket.
