This examiner grants 84% of resolved cases
Jason Christopher Smith is a high-volume examiner in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3613, with 1558 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 83.6 percent, which is very high and indicates a strong tendency toward granting patents. This 83.6 percent rate is a key indicator of the examiner's approach to patentability in the transportation and construction sectors. The 1558 resolved cases provide a very robust statistical foundation.
The median duration for allowed cases is 833 days. The data also shows an interview lift of 13.0 percent. Even with the high 83.6 percent base allowance rate, the 13.0 percent lift suggests that interviews are still a valuable tool for practitioners. By combining the 833 days median with the 13.0 percent lift, practitioners can effectively navigate the prosecution process to achieve a grant.
