Analysis

SIMMONS, SYDNEY JEANINE works in Tech Center 4100 and Art Unit 3619. The profile has 12 resolved cases, a 75.0% allowance rate, and a 33.3% interview lift. Because the recorded docket is small, the figures should be treated as an informative signal rather than a complete prediction. The allowance measure is favorable, and the interview measure indicates that examiner discussions may assist applicants when they are used to address specific claim or prior art questions.

The median time to allowance is 1313 days. Toyota Motor Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Airbus Operations GmbH are the listed leading companies. The listed firms are APEX JURIS, PLLC, DAY PITNEY LLP, and FORTKORT & HOUSTON P.C. Practitioners should focus on application-specific analysis, with clear claim explanations and a prepared interview agenda. The data supports active engagement, but the limited case volume makes careful monitoring of each matter more important than reliance on a general pattern.
