Analysis

Jenna Leigh Johnson works in Art Unit 1717 within Tech Center 1700. She has 405 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 47.4 percent. This suggests a competitive environment where slightly less than half of the applications are allowed. Practitioners should be prepared for a thorough examination and may need to provide detailed technical arguments to reach the 47.4 percent allowance threshold.

The interview lift is 19.3 percent. This positive lift indicates that interviews are a helpful strategy for improving the 47.4 percent allowance rate. Direct communication can clarify technical points and help the examiner understand the unique aspects of the invention. Practitioners should consider the 19.3 percent lift as a valuable tool for overcoming rejections and moving toward a grant.

The median days to allowance is 1430. This timeline represents a significant duration for prosecution, requiring patience from applicants. Practitioners should use the 19.3 percent interview lift to navigate the 1430 day pendency and improve the 47.4 percent odds of success. A proactive approach that includes oral discussion may help streamline the process and lead to a more efficient resolution.
