Analysis

Jonathan S. Lee is an examiner in Tech Center 2600, specifically assigned to Art Unit 2661. With 605 resolved cases, his experience level provides a robust dataset for analyzing prosecution trends. His allowance rate stands at 84.5 percent, which represents a high frequency of successful outcomes for applicants. This 84.5 percent rate suggests that the examiner is often receptive to the merits of the applications he reviews.

The interview lift for this examiner is 9.7 percent. While any increase in allowance probability is beneficial, this 9.7 percent lift is more modest than some of his peers. Practitioners should still weigh the benefits of an interview, but they must recognize that the baseline allowance rate is already quite high. The 605 resolved cases indicate that his procedural habits are well-established within Art Unit 2661.

Efficiency is reflected in the median days to allowance, which is 821. This duration is relatively swift for patent prosecution, suggesting that applications moving toward allowance do so in a timely manner. Applicants can use this 821-day figure to estimate their own prosecution timelines. The combination of a high allowance rate and a swift median suggests a streamlined path to grant.
