This examiner grants 97% of resolved cases

Analysis

Jillian Mazzola is an examiner in Tech Center 2900 and Art Unit 2922. She has managed 242 resolved cases, maintaining a very high allowance rate of 97.1 percent. This high rate suggests that the examiner is generally receptive to patent applications, providing a favorable environment for those seeking grants. The median days to allowance for her cases is 769, which indicates a relatively efficient path to patent issuance for applicants in her art unit.

While the allowance rate is high, the interview lift is relatively low at 1.9 percent. This indicates that while interviews are available, they provide only a marginal statistical increase in the likelihood of success compared to the 97.1 percent baseline. Practitioners might find that written prosecution is often sufficient to reach an allowance given the high baseline rate. The 769 days to allowance suggests that the process moves at a steady pace without excessive delays.
