Tech Center 1600 • Art Units: 1637 1671 1686
This examiner grants 49% of resolved cases
Emilie Aline Smith works within Art Unit 1637 of Tech Center 1600, focusing on biotechnology and organic chemistry. With 77 resolved cases, she maintains an allowance rate of 49.4 percent. This rate indicates that approximately half of the applications she reviews result in a patent grant. For practitioners, this 49.4 percent figure sets a moderate expectation for success during the initial filing stages. The 77 resolved cases provide a specific context for these outcomes.
The median time to allowance for this examiner is 1589 days, reflecting a lengthy prosecution period. However, the data highlights a significant interview lift of 35.4 percent. This lift is particularly noteworthy because it suggests that direct examiner interaction can move the success rate well beyond the 49.4 percent baseline. Given the 1589 days typically required to reach allowance, the 35.4 percent lift provides a strategic avenue for practitioners to potentially resolve issues more effectively through verbal communication.
