Analysis

Jane J. Rhee is an active examiner in Tech Center 1700, specifically Art Unit 1724, with 1136 resolved cases. Her allowance rate of 86.0% is high, suggesting a favorable environment for patent applicants. This large volume of cases provides a reliable measure of her examination style, which frequently leads to the granting of patent rights for the applications she reviews.

The median days to allowance is 1003, which serves as a benchmark for the expected duration of the prosecution process. The data also shows an interview lift of 12.4%. This metric indicates that conducting an interview can further improve the probability of allowance beyond the 86.0% baseline, offering a path to resolve any specific issues and potentially reach a grant more efficiently.

With 1136 resolved cases, the 12.4% interview lift is a statistically grounded reason for practitioners to engage in direct dialogue. The 1003-day median duration is a standard expectation for pendency. Applicants should consider the high 86.0% allowance rate as a strong indicator of success, while utilizing interviews as a strategic tool to navigate Art Unit 1724 and secure a positive outcome.
