Analysis

Jacob Zachary Sussman Moss serves in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2122. Across 14 resolved cases, the examiner maintains an allowance rate of 14.3 percent. This 14.3 percent rate suggests a challenging environment for applicants seeking to secure patent grants in this specific art unit. The 14 resolved cases provide an initial indication of the examiner's standards for patentability.

However, the data reveals an interview lift of 24.2 percent. This 24.2 percent lift indicates that conducting an interview may improve the probability of allowance compared to the base rate. Practitioners should account for a median days to allowance of 1392 when planning their prosecution strategy, as this reflects the duration for successful outcomes. Given the base allowance rate, the 24.2 percent lift suggests that direct communication is an effective tool for navigating this examiner's docket and potentially managing the 1392-day timeline. Applicants should prioritize interviews to improve their odds.
