Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 3761 3781
This examiner grants 76% of resolved cases
Jacqueline F. Stephens is an experienced examiner in Art Unit 3761 of Tech Center 3700, with 1384 resolved cases. The examiner maintains an allowance rate of 75.6%, which is a favorable baseline for applicants. This 75.6% rate indicates a high likelihood of success for applications reaching a final disposition under this examiner's supervision.
The interview lift is 14.8%, providing a modest boost to the 75.6% baseline. While the lift is positive, the high initial allowance rate suggests that many of the 1384 cases proceed to grant through standard written prosecution. However, an interview remains a useful option for resolving specific technical hurdles that may arise during the 1177 day median pendency.
The median days to allowance is 1177. This 1177 day timeline, combined with the high volume of 1384 cases, provides a very stable expectation for the prosecution cycle. Practitioners can rely on the 75.6% allowance rate and the 14.8% lift to develop a predictable strategy for obtaining a patent in Tech Center 3700.
