This examiner grants 51% of resolved cases
Jenine Marie Spicer manages a large docket of 760 resolved cases in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 1736. The allowance rate of 51.1% reflects a balanced but competitive prosecution environment. The median days to allowance of 1149 provides a reliable expectation for the time required to reach a grant. The 760 resolved cases provide a statistically robust foundation for these metrics.
The interview lift of 18.9% offers a meaningful advantage for practitioners. By conducting an interview, applicants can improve their chances beyond the 51.1% base allowance rate. With 760 resolved cases, this 18.9% lift is a well-established trend in Art Unit 1736. Practitioners should use the interview to navigate the 1149 days of pendency and address the examiner's specific concerns. The data suggests that while the allowance rate is 51.1%, direct communication provides a substantial boost to the likelihood of success. Verbal advocacy is a productive strategy for overcoming rejections in this docket and should be considered for most applications.
