This examiner grants 67% of resolved cases

Analysis

Michael J. Jansen II has resolved 649 cases in Art Unit 2626, maintaining an allowance rate of 67.0 percent. This 67.0 percent rate is solid for Tech Center 2600, suggesting a reasonable path to patent issuance. The 649 cases provide a very reliable data set for evaluating his examination style and his general disposition toward granting patents.

The interview lift is 19.0 percent, which indicates that direct communication is a helpful tool for resolving issues. This 19.0 percent figure suggests that while the 67.0 percent baseline is good, an interview can provide the necessary push for more complex applications. For the 649 cases analyzed, interviews are a productive tactic. Practitioners should use the 19.0 percent lift to resolve outstanding objections.

The median time to allowance is 866 days, which is quite efficient. This 866-day timeline, combined with the 67.0 percent allowance rate, makes Michael J. Jansen II a relatively fast examiner. Applicants can expect a 67.0 percent success rate within an 866-day window. The 866-day median is a key advantage for applicants in this unit.
